The newlyweds must negotiate a surprise visit from their investor in order to keep from losing everything. With the pregnancy taking a turn for the worse, and the underage whore they take on as a ward, life doesn’t show any signs of letting them rest. Cole and Jane must find the culprit to put a stop to their downfall before it’s too late. The darkest hour comes just before dawn, and what should be a rescue turns into an hour of great sacrifice. Jane is left with a choice—succumb to the darkness like her predecessor, Clara—or stand tall and fight.
