Harry is one of seven managers at the Cardinal, and she has a set of skills that can help Lara, but she has to manage her own feelings about three of the other managers in the meantime-Lust, Gluttony, and Envy. When things go downhill for Lara, can Harry ultimately make her proud of who she is without admitting their deadly secret?
