May contain story progression spoilers
Amy finds a puzzle cube in Marla's hands and opens it, triggering her passage toward hell.
Amy begins by reporting on crack-addicted junkies and follows videotaped evidence to an underground group in Bucharest.
The videotape depicts young people apparently becoming zombies through Winter's power, while the story emphasizes the dead returning and disturbing imagery.
Amy travels from London to Bucharest, where Marla's death and the underground group connect the city to the puzzle box's supernatural threat.
