The nights in Newford are dark and unsettling. On one of these nights, photographer Lily, who went out in search of a sensation, and taxi driver Hank, who happened to be nearby, miraculously escape inevitable death at the hands of a cold-blooded killer. Salvation literally falls from the sky. But a happy deliverance will cost the heroes dearly...

A poetic and slightly creepy parable by Charles de Lint about the eternal dance of light and darkness.
