When Jay reveals his secret and tells Iris the truth of who, and what, he is, the woman’s plans of escape become more elaborate and dangerous. Can Jay save his bride from the traps of his enemies, and more importantly can he convince her he’s not the monster in her fairy tale but rather her knight in golden armour?
