But this reputation doesn’t mean that every character in the universe is terrible.

At the end of the day, they only prove that the SSMU isn’t 100% bad.

Cassandra Webb is a New York City paramedic who starts to show signs of clairvoyance. Forced to confront revelations about her past, she must protect three young women from a mysterious adversary who wants them dead.
