Higgs undergoes a horrific transformation, Detective Davis's world crumbles beneath his feet, and Gem faces the violent ghosts of her past alongside the very real threat of Relic and Mr. Penni's combined forces.
BITTER ROOT cowriter CHUCK BROWN and superstar artist PRENZY (ON THE STUMP) reunite for this ultra-violent, high-octane limited series that's Frasier meets The Punisher! Gem Ezz is a psychiatrist in the Kafkaesque city of Setham, where corruption and brutality rule the streets. By day, she uses words to solve her patients' problems. By night, she takes a more direct-and sometimes deadly-approach. But when her practice puts her in the sights of an immortal serial killer, Gem finds herself embroiled in a power struggle that threatens everything she's ever known.
After torturing and publicly displaying the monstrous and seemingly immortal serial killer known only as the Skinwalker, Gem finds herself a target of Setham's nefarious elite. Among them is the twisted Mr. Higgs, who doesn't appreciate Gem jeopardizing the youth and riches the Skinwalker's immortal blood provides him with. Now, Gem faces overwhelming odds in a conflict that will force her to question her unconventional methods-and confront the looming traumas of her past.
