Anna is an unlikely companion in his run for freedom, sharing Erik's heart and the bounty on his head. The manhunt, initiated by the Phantom's mysterious past, soon takes an unexpected turn when Anna's darkest secrets are exposed. However, it is Christine, Raoul's wife, who puts their lives in danger when she confesses to a ruthless bounty hunter her shocking desire for Erik. Now Anna must defend Erik's innocence but doing so may very well spell her death. With lies and false accusations threatening the lives of both hunter and hunted, the future hinges on uncovering the truth about the past. But will the haunting memories of Philippe Georges Marie, the Comte de Chagny be enough to save them all?
