The envelopes contain instructions on how to bring about the financial downfall of Alette's former husband: a man who had made Alette's life a misery while she was still alive. But as Isa sets out to fulfil Alette's last wish and exact revenge on her cousin's behalf, she is in peril. Unbeknownst to her, Alette was murdered, and now it is Isa's turn to be drawn into the killer's world of dark fantasy and lethal obsession.
