As the withdrawal mounts, Mat forgets his meds, forcing Julia to fight to survive against bad trips, Mat's downward spiral and a mysterious watchman who haunts the gloom, while Mat unwittingly risks her life to win her back.

Once there was a disgruntled husband who tried to hire a hit-man to kill his ex-wife, only to find out that there are no hit-men, only undercover cops.

This time it turned out to be an FBI agent. Then there was the jealous girlfriend, who drove drunk to her boyfriend's house to catch him with another woman. She saw a car sitting right in front of his house and decided that the only thing she could do in that situation was to ram the car. So, she rammed, backed up and rammed and rammed and rammed.
