When a weekend boating trip is swallowed by a violent storm, Pia and Rob wash ashore deep in the Australian wetlands-miles from help, soaked to the bone, and already on edge. But the real danger isn't the weather.
It's the house.
Seeking shelter in a remote farmhouse, the couple quickly realizes they've stepped into the territory of a feral, unhinged family whose cruelty is only matched by their isolation. Captured, tormented, and cut off from the world by rising floodwaters, Pia and Rob must navigate a nightmare of escalating depravity as the storm outside intensifies, and the storm inside the house turns lethal.
Desperation becomes strategy. Fear becomes fuel.
And survival demands a brutality neither of them ever imagined.
From Brett McBean, author of the acclaimed
novelization of Long Weekend, comes a relentless descent into rural terror, where nature is unforgiving, humanity is monstrous, and escape is a race against both the elements and evil itself.
