Sometimes the worst monsters are where we least expected them.

Still looking for answers to all those who disappeared in the Leftovers, Lyra, Dorian and their rogue team are drawn into a new mission: working with the Florida Bureau to investigate human trafficking in the Leftovers. This time they won’t be facing monsters or Immortals, but human criminals.

Should be a piece of cake compared to facing down the Immortal Council. Right? Except that Lyra and the shadowy outfit luring teenagers in with promises of supernatural secrets might not be all talk.

Kane hasn’t gotten any peace since the meld. Through their unexplainable mind connection, Roxy managed to rescue him from an unfamiliar plane, but his recovery only raises more questions. Why did he get drawn into the Pocket Space? What are these strange dreams he’s having? And why has it been so easy to get used to a certain brash yet beautiful human girl talking to him in his head?

More than anything, he wants to return to the Pocket Space to help the children he couldn’t protect from mysterious foes. But first, he needs answers about something even more mysterious: his own past.

As Kane and Roxy try to navigate their connection and Lara and Fallon race to save kidnapped children, their searches start to point toward the same place. These criminals might be more connected to them than they realize. And even ordinary humans might not be so ordinary anymore.
