Rory Vance returns to Ash Hollow to confront a dark bargain he made to resurrect his sister. He finds Kade, a man trapped by the same curse, and faces the ride, a shadowy force that collects debts. With the help of Mara, a hunter of bargains, Rory admits his truth and binds the ride. They follow a storm to the Hollow Road and a mysterious door, where Rory sacrifices himself to lock the devil away. The ride is sealed, but the debt still lingers.
