Alchemy of Secrets

At 6:59 pm on Halloween Eve, Holland opens the folder in Jake’s apartment. She finds a photo of herself and a dossier on her life, including the fact that she changed her name 15 years ago. She flips to Jake’s profile and discovers he was an actor hired to date her and extract secrets about her family. Holland answers her phone and hears the distorted voice of a man who identifies himself as the Watch Man. He denies killing Jake and tells Holland she will die at 11:59 pm on Halloween. Her only chance of avoiding this fate is to find something called the Alchemical Heart. The call ends as police sirens approach, and Holland flees.

Holland runs to her car but finds it disabled. A dark SUV blocks her exit, and the driver, Gabe Cabral, insists she must come with him. Gabe has an antiquity eye tattoo on his wrist, identical to the tattoo on Holland’s sister, January. Holland touches her necklace: a gift from January, which bears the same symbol. Gabe claims January sent him to protect Holland. As police approach, Holland reluctantly gets into the SUV.
