His friend picks one that has the same name as Linc, while Linc picks the black angel that is believed to be cursed – he wants to prove that it isn’t true. During his investigation he starts to believe the curse may be real, due to some strange occurrences. He also finds out that his friend has picked someone who may be related to him.
