Emma dostala šancu žiť a podarilo sa jej dostať sa z pekla, ktoré dennodenne zažívala so svojou tetou. Pomaly sa spamätáva zo strašnej traumy a skúša žiť bez strachu. Každú noc ju však prenasledujú strašidelné sny. Po čase strávenom v Sarinom dome sa rozhodne presťahovať sa k svojej matke. Emmina dobrota a viera v ľudí jej dlho bráni uvedomiť si pravdu o svojich blízkych. To, že ani život s vlastnou matkou Emme nedodá pocit šťastia a pokoja, po ktorom celý život túži, ju trápi a ponára sa čoraz hlbšie do ponurých zákutí svojej duše. O jej tajomstve už vie celý Weslyn, navyše s matkou po boku ju čakajú ďalšie nepríjemné situácie. Modriny síce zmizli, ale jazvy sa nezahoja. Budú Evan a Sara stačiť na to, aby si Emma uvedomila, že aj ona si zaslúži ozajstný život? Čo všetko si ešte bude musieť vytrpieť, kým bude naozaj šťastná? A podarí sa jej vôbec niekedy spať pokojne, bez nočných môr?

„Vnútri stále horím. Rozmýšľala som, čo by som mala spraviť, aby som to utrpenie v sebe potlačila. Nezvládala som to spraviť sama. Potrebovala som pomoc. Bola som zúfalá.“ Emma Thomasová sa skrýva. Pred všetkým a pred každým ... vrátane jej samej. Ale nemôže sa skrývať navždy. Jej minulosť ju nájde, a jej tajomstvá nezostanú v tichu – a nezáleží na tom, ako veľmi chce, aby jej odpustili. Emma zistí, že úprimnosť môže zraniť viac ako zrada, a že pravda môže mať cenu jedinej lásky, akú kedy mala. Dlho očakávaný záver série Dych budú čitatelia hltať so zatajeným dychom.

„Toto je miesto, kde som mala byť v bezpečí a všetko malo byť jednoduché. Nikto sa so mnou neusiloval skamarátiť a ja som si držala odstup. Ako mohol Evan Mathews rozhádzať môj vesmír za jediný deň?“ V pokojnom meste Weslyn, kde sa väčšina ľudí zaujíma najmä o to, či budú videní a s kým, Emma Thomasová by bola najradšej neviditeľnou. Oveľa viac starostí má s predstieraním vlastnej dokonalosti – musí si naťahovať rukávy, aby zakryla svoje modriny, pretože nikto nemôže zistiť, aký vzdialený je jej skutočný život od dokonalosti. Z ničoho nič však Emma nájde lásku. A tá ju núti uvedomiť si, že aj ona je človek a že aj ona si zaslúži plnohodnotný život – a to aj za cenu odhalenia strašného tajomstva, ktoré sa snaží zúfalo skrývať. Príbeh jedného dievčaťa o láske, ktorá mení životy, o nevýslovnej krutosti a náhlej šanci na vykúpenie sa z pekla.
