A pulse-pounding psychological thriller based on the popular Dutch
tradition of blindfolding and dropping teens and pre-teens in the middle
of a forest -- and what happens when it goes horribly wrong.
Twelve-year old Karin is blindfolded and dropped into the Hoge Veluwe
National Forest with three other children. With nothing but a few basic
supplies and emergency food, the children are tasked with working
together to navigate one of the Netherlands' most beautiful and wild
locations and return to where their families are anxiously waiting.
Karin quickly finds herself at odds with two of the older teens, and
suddenly looks up to see that the other children have vanished. As Karin
struggles against the elements to find her way back, she soon realizes
that something far more sinister lurks in the woods.
Grace, Karin's mother and an American married to a Dutch husband, has
been nervous about this practice from the start. At first she tells
herself the space is good for her daughter, but as the hours begin to
tick by and the children fail to arrive at their designated campsite,
she becomes certain something has gone horribly wrong.
As Karin fights for survival, and Grace hastens to find her daughter,
the night culminates in the reveal of a deadly secret--and a shocking
confrontation--that will push each of them to her edge.
