She crawls through darkness in search of the light that keeps hope alive
Sydney dies at homecoming and wakes up in the vestibule of Hell. Months ago, she sold her soul to a demon who lives at the bottom of a pond where her crush -- Jimmie Knight -- once tried to rescue a child who drowned.
That child now offers to guide Sydney through the nine circles of Hell to earn redemption. It will be a hard journey, during which she'll face her darkest fears and deepest regrets.
Or maybe... the guide's offer is the demon's sinister ploy to draw her into deeper suffering. There's only one way to find out, and get out, if she can figure out who to trust and how to work the underworld system. But her biggest obstacle is her own past.
