Things could be better. But that's not the direction they're heading.</p><p></p><p>A violent gang of wolves prowls the streets of Elsa's neighborhood harassing Plain Ones. With the pack's presence becoming stronger and its threat more real Elsa's life is rapidly plummeting from lackluster to perilous.</p><p></p><p>Her only bright spots are her cousin and a co-worker who seem to know her better than she knows herself.
