After a lifetime under the control of his volatile mother, teenage Sam finds refuge in Claire, a childhood friend carrying wounds of her own. Their connection is immediate, deep, intense, and dangerously dependent. Believing that love will save them, they attempt to build a life of their own. But when the past refuses to stay buried, their bond twists into something far darker. As jealousy rises and tenderness fades, Claire must confront the terrifying possibility that the boy who once made her feel safe may be repeating everything they were trying to escape.
