Martha is now in her thirties. She has long shaken off the shackles of Jackser and her mother. Following a shotgun wedding at 18, she was separated and a single mother by 22. Now her daughter has left home to continue her studies in England and Martha is alone, in bad health, lonely and vulnerable. She draws us once again back into her life as she verges on the precipice of a nervous breakdown. A phone call echoes ghosts from the past and unlocks a Pandora's box that should never have been opened. She discovers that one of the family is dead and the others need her help.
Martha returns, only to find that the full weight of the inexplicable evil that Jackser poured into the young child she once was, has now come thundering our of the bowels of hell to swallow her up and plunge her into a nightmare of nothingness, leaving her bereft and stripped of all her defences. She must retrace her steps back into the darkness, weaving in and out of the deep dark recesses of the labyrinths of her mind, and faces what she once was.
With the hounds of hell lapping at her feet, death is always only a heartbeat away. Martha views the chink of light at the end of the tunnel. She has found happiness at last. She takes a wonderful God-like man to her heart. But, no! It looks like she will never shake off the evil, because it is lurking around the corner and the nightmare starts all over again, this time at the hands of a Jackser by another name . . .
