“Escaping from the Grace Field House, Emma and friends run through the wilderness where demons lives. On the way to the southeast with the help of the pen Norman left as a clue, they are all chased by demons…?!”
As you can see, this first episode picks up where the finale of season one dropped. Emma and Ray have managed to escape the orphanage with several of their siblings in tow. Still, there are others of their family left at Grace Field, but Emma has bigger problems at hand. Their successful escape from the home has put a target on their backs. Now, demons are free to hunt the fleeing prey, but Emma is ready to take them on. After all, the heroine isn’t about to let her family become a meal, and this second season will follow her as she tries to bring everyone to safety… even if it is just temporary.
