Twenty-two year old Zhara Walinski finds herself caught between the hell of her current six-year relationship with Damien Mcknight and the heaven promised by her new crush, John Huntsman.

Where does a young woman go when Hell kicks you out but you don't feel good enough for Heaven?

For Zhara, there's only one place to go: Purgatory.

A small bar on the outskirts of a small town outside of Reno, Purgatory is run by Zhara's older brother and sister, Mike and Gabby Montrose. The Montrose family took in twelve-year-old Zhara with open arms, but the death of their grandfather four years ago has taken its toll, and disagreements over Zhara's relationship with Damien have caused a distance to develop between the once close-knit family.

Zhara's relationship with Damien was never easy, but John's presence in Zhara's life brings out a side of Damien she didn't know existed. Now her family is threatened, her future is at stake, and nobody knows what Damien will do next.

With Damien determined to keep her under his control, Zhara soon finds that the only way out is to face up to the fire or risk having it consume her for good. Everything she cares about and everyone she loves is on the line, and she's the only one with the power to save them.
