Five years since SIENA gained the ability to see when someone will die, Siena still often feels consumed by fear, a secret she even hides from her two friends, WINDY and RIO. Siena only confides in NAYA, a professor and clinical psychologist on campus. Then, one day, a death occurs on campus, but this time Siena sees no sign. This event prompts Naya to return to her hometown, Remetuk Village, to meet with LARAS. Armed with a message left behind, Siena is accompanied by Windy and Rio on a journey to Remetuk Village. As harvest season approaches, suicide attempts are a recurring theme in Remetuk Village, but Siena, who wants to help, has never been able to see the signs. Siena, Windy, Rio, Naya, and Naya and Laras, none of them can escape this curse, the desire in each of them to know and determine when they will die.
