But blessings and curses don't look all that different these days, and failing to tell the two apart can get a guy killed-over and over again in Eddie's case. So when one of Eddie's old pals shows up seeking sanctuary, Eddie knows he's in for a double-cross, and that means walking the line between salvation and damnation once more.
