After her mother's passing, Petra decides that time is up, as she tries to search for the truth and look for him. From this point on, the investigation leads her to a powerful and ruthless man. Destiny's cruel logic and dark sense of humor takes Petra to the limit of her internal forces as she embarks on this story of discovery.
