Sara has a dream about Nottingham, herself and a mysterious woman. She awakens to find that the Witchblade is gone. A strange crime wave hits the city and the detectives somehow link it to a website called cyberfaust. Sara goes to Gabriel and looks at the website where she learns that it is run by Irons, who has come back as some kind of data entity. She comes out of it and must fight the new Witchblade wielder almost just as her dream depicted.
