Hellghast is a prison that's meant for no man of heart, much less a girl of sixteen years. Yet Kara finds herself trapped in a world where the next meal is won fighting with other 'zeros' for scraps left behind by the Superiors. It's her brother that keeps her from giving in to darkness that surrounds her. To keep him alive is her aim.

But after a match in the Blood Pit, she finds herself near death. Then a figure from the darkness tells her of a secret she herself has long forgotten. The secret tells a story of what has been taken from her in the name of greed, and she will stop at nothing to take it back.
