Discovering Blanche's disappearence Bear and Fish cut short their European vacation and join up with Rose to begin scouring New York City looking for Blanche. But the same malevolence that is lurking over Blanche seems to be hunting them as well and drawing them all togther into a death trap until it seems that all hope is gone. Yet during this time the desires of Blanche's heart are being clarified - and so are Bear's.A black night. Tested faith. Honest love.
