Plot summary
Eve is an assassin for a ruthless crime family, the people who order the hits she carries out. While she is working, a knife goes through her skull and leaves her with severe head trauma. The injury changes her: she starts to hallucinate, and the people she has killed stay with her. Dr. Rankin, the doctor who treats her afterward, is among those around her, along with Vera, her next-door neighbor. The damage turns Eve toward the men who gave the orders in the first place, her own mob employers, and she sets out to settle the score with them.
