   Summary

   After breaking your heart two years ago, John Constantine shows up at your door in the middle of the night, disheveled and in trouble. He needs help from someone he trusts, so John turns to you and your abilities in hopes that he can out run and outwit the consequences of his past.

   Consequences that made him choose to push you away, instead of being honest with you. And despite not believing his reasons for returning, you know you can't deny what you still feel for each other.

   But like everything with John, the truth of the situation isn't black and white. And this time, the secrets he's keeping from you, may cost you your life.
