In the aftermath of five murders, including her best friend's, it was Island who'd walked away breathing, and bearing in her arms a new baby, and well... a new life. A new life, plus a new ring on her finger. It was she who'd arose from the smoke of everything that went up in flames. And, it was she who'd emerged from the brink of death with the love of her life-Joi-at her side. Now life is good. Life is very good. 'Til that good life takes a screeching turn into another dark corner of reality, where Island realizes for the last time, that everything comes with a price.... including Joi.
