Meanwhile, plans are being made for the protection and safe travel of Clairisa's family during their vacation to South Carolina, USA. However, the promise of being away from Husk's draining abilities doesn't guarantee Clairisa rest and rejuvenation. After a group tour at a historical site, she encounters a captivating woman who leads her to a darkened archway.
