Here We Stand

Alexander Scholari walks through the world using a name that isn't his. As the hidden informer for the New York underworld, his anonymity buys him safety — until he reunites with someone from his past. Aryana Parekh is a journalist hunting a story no one else believes is true. Their chance meeting ignites Alex's desire to break free. And then he dies. Finding himself in an eternal chasm, Alex will go through any means necessary to get his life back — even if it means making a deal with Death.
