Mara receives a phone call inside her café demanding $4,620 in overdue rent. She promises to pay, locks up the shop, and flips the sign to closed. Outside, a drunk man leaning against the wall questions her late hours. Mara threatens him with pepper spray and leaves. While walking down a wet alley, she watches a raven fly away. Suddenly, a swarm of bats forms into a man in a dark coat.
Mara takes a phone call from a collector demanding $4,620 for rent. She promises to pay the money on time. After finishing the call, Mara secures the café and flips the door sign over to closed for the night.
An intoxicated man holding a bottle leans against the wall outside. He tells Mara she has bad judgment for locking up alone so late. Mara warns that she has pepper spray ready, and she walks away down the street.
Mara walks alone down a wet alleyway. A shadow shifts above, sending a raven into flight. Moments later, a massive cloud of bats rushes toward her and merges into a silent man wearing a dark coat who steps forward.
“Mrs. Mara, your rent for this month is overdue in the amount of $4,620.”
“All right, I will pay the rent on time.”
“Locking up alone this late? Takes guts... or bad judgment.”
“You were about two seconds away from catching a face full of pepper spray.”
Mara stands alone in the wet alleyway as a swarm of bats gathers into a physical form. The bats transform into a man dressed in a dark coat, and he walks directly toward her in the dark. Who is this mysterious man emerging from the shadows, and does he intend to harm Mara?
