Noah Black's world is falling apart-and he's determined to piece it back together so he can understand his own nature and relationship to fear. Through raw personal growth and a relentless drive to experience everything life offers, he vows to heal, to challenge himself and to stare down whatever fate throws at him. And in an innocent ritual he invokes Fate to challenge him.
And Fate listens.
When Noah is thrust back into the workforce, he lands in a place he never imagined: Australia's first adolescent sex offender treatment clinic. Bewildered and out of his depth, he faces a brutal learning curve. Among a team of seasoned therapists, Noah feels like an outsider-but as the pressure mounts and the intensity escalates, he has no choice but to rise up and face the horror. Because the shadows are closing in, and the forces of darkness aren't waiting for him to catch up.
Brutal. Unflinching. Realistic. There is only one way out and it's The Antidote?
