Arrêt papillon est une histoire contemporaine indépendante, sur Jonny Prescott, un gardien de but divorcé des Enforcers de San Diego.

Then he hears the rumors--that Coliaro is undead. That his worshippers perform rituals to fill him with life energy. That every time he paints a male nude, the painting transforms to depict a gruesome murder. And that shortly after, a young man turns up dead. The source of these rumors is a man named Westwood, who claims to be an instructor at the school and warns Riley not to get involved. Riley ignores the advice--but when the rumors pan out and another murder looms, he turns to Westwood for help. Westwood is clearly keeping secrets. He's dangerous, and Riley doesn't know if he can be trusted--which makes him all the more attractive. Riley is in way over his head... and his involvement with the undead may make him the ultimate target.
