From the author of Uninvited: Damaged by trauma, a grown woman and a teenage boy form a destructive bond fuelled by rage...
Penny is a victim of rape. It leaves her emotionally devastated, alone, and consumed by anger. She strives to rid herself of her fury, but it won't go away.
Charlie is a fourteen-year-old boy who watched his much-loved older brother die in a hit-and-run accident on a cold night in their small village. He, too, is filled with denial and rage.
These two neighbours develop a strange and unlikely friendship, fed by a shared hatred of the world. As bodies start to appear, a young girl goes missing, and their toxic union grows ever more primitive and feral. Will they ultimately destroy themselves-or each other?
