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?
