Today, unknown to most, dark spirits continue to patrol the perimeter seeking an entrance to the souls of all who partake of Pharmakeia.  

College Freshman Joshua Mitchell’s discovery of a shocking family secret creates a tremendous burden. Its weight proves too much for him to bear and the results are absolutely tragic. Meanwhile, his childhood friend, Ashley Wells has begun to feel she is losing a battle of her own, unable to let go of the pain of that fateful night. Both choose to fight past and present demons of addiction by dedicating their seemingly broken lives to helping others.

Behind it all, in the realm of the unseen, the Ruler of Darkness meets with demonic lords to discuss a threat to one of their greatest weapons. “Even as Pharmakeia reigns on many nations, there is an attempt to expose our campaign. We must offer our temptations with the greatest cunning. And remember… the best lie is one told softly.”
