The soul that has conceived one wickedness can nurse no good thereafter.
Maris Mayor: Cold, callous, and closed-off.
Nightmares of her past torment her as demons of her present, an impending reminder of her doomed future. Her soul is heavy with the burden of the crimes she has committed but her heart is heavier.
Maris is the prey, Maris is the predator.
If you never heal from the people who hurt you, then you will bleed on people who didn't cut you.
Nick Angelo: Noble, radiant, and nimble. The flower of feverish, frantic fantasies of the mind, the jeweled possession of the moral compass of the highest order. A doting partner and a diligent official, he is the pinnacle, he is the pedestal and he is the perfection.
But sometimes, the most perfect ones are the most flawed.
There are no heroes or villains. It is just what we want and how we get it.
Adrian Raines: Corporate raider, business mogul, and the crowned head of his empire. With the twisted ambitions and manipulative instincts, all carefully concealed under acts of selfless philanthropy, the extents of his deceit ring as a cry of the cruel in the darkest of nights.
He sees it, he wants it. He wants it, he takes it. Divided and presented into three parts: Before, It & After, this is the story of the calm before the storm, the explosion, and its ultimate devastation. This is the story of choices and their consequences. The story of ambitions and their aftermath.
The story of Maris, Nick, and Adrian, and the Crossfire that entangled their lives into a whirlwind of deception and heartbreak, ruthlessness and empathy, war and blood.
Right and wrong.
