In the town of Harbor Bridge, it is said that when someone dies, his last breath stays in his throat. When the head is severed, that last breath can be taken by another, and the recipient becomes stronger. Narcissa Sentinel has been robbing graves to cure her illness with these last breaths but soon realizes that perhaps fresher specimens are in order.

Noble is a man who lives alone in a rundown hotel room. Lately, someone has been sliding notes under his door, telling him to do things. He has dreams of a white mask lying on the ground. And two detectives have been harassing him, trying to find a missing woman. One day, a mysterious visitor arrives and tells Noble that he can find the truth if he wants. He sets Noble on a mission...find the woman and he will have his answers. Noble agrees, and sets off to uncover the mystery that leads him to places he never wanted to go.
