Her quest to uncover the truth behind these hauntings leads her to the mystical city of New Orleans, accompanied by her childhood friend Tino. As Lovely's supernatural abilities intensify, she finds herself entangled in a dangerous and alluring relationship with Death, who beckons her with a voice as tempting as it is foreboding.
