Kate Connor sits at her kitchen table, watching her family go about their evening routine. They have no idea she has returned to work after fourteen years as a stay-at-home mom. Her husband thinks she's adjusting to domestic life. Her kids assume she's available whenever they need her. Kate tells small lies to cover her absences and rearranges family obligations around her new schedule. The truth would shatter their normal suburban existence. Kate has resumed her old profession: hunting demons. She cannot bring this work home the way other mothers might spread office papers across the dining room table. When your job involves fighting supernatural evil, mixing family life with professional duties becomes dangerous for everyone you love. Kate must balance protecting her family from the truth while protecting the world from forces they cannot imagine.
