Miriam Blaylock is an immortal who cannot abide by the thought of being alone. She has the ability to give others immortality, but for them, it comes with a high price--eventually they become so weak that, while they don't die, they no longer have the strength to move. With John, her current companion, rapidly approaching this state, she turns her attentions to developing a new relationship, this time with Sarah, a scientist engaged in sleep research.
