Tensions are high, lines are drawn, and Carrie feels a wedge growing between her and Greg. Haunted by past mistakes and impending tragedies, Greg knows he should distance himself from Carrie.

He's busy hatching a plan to salvage things when his citizenship backfires, and he's asked to do the unthinkable. In this stunning follow-up to Life, loved ones are lost, allegiances are tested, and old enemies plot revenge.
