Strange happenings begin to disturb the gay surface of Miliana's life. Someone turns up the temperature in her hot tub to a dangerous level while she is out walking the mountain trials, and then her house is set afire. Unbeknownst to her, Dominic is closing in, but he's not the only villain of the piece. Sensing her end, she commences her 'Legacy', her biography as presented in Mother Goose nursery rhymes.
