Since graduating from Whisperwood School for Boys, William has found a sense of normalcy in his life with James. He has a steady (albeit secret) relationship, a home, and a job - even if it doesn't pay the greatest.

But the money is too much to pass up when they don't know when their next meal will be.

And, when the normally collected William stumbles in one night, shaken and ranting of ghosts, James is the only one who believes him.
