All her life, her father has warned, "Beware of your poison. It has a will of its own." But for January Moore, the road to hell begins with a ticket to London where a brutal hit-and-run shatters her world. A chance encounter in a London pub offers the perfect escape: a journey into the vast, sun-scorched desert of Morocco with a group of beautiful, reckless strangers. Jan is pulled into a world of intoxicating freedom, something she has always desired, but has no clue how to navigate, particularly the intense, codependent relationship between Peter and his boyfriend Ron. During a stop at a remote oasis, she confronts Peter about a wound that was burned on his arm with the symbol of a desert tribe. This triggers a harrowing descent that captures the three of them into a wild and unpredictable deception they cannot control. Leaving the rest of the group to return home, Jan, Peter, and Ron decide to press deeper into the Sahara to visit the village of their guide. There, they are tricked by the narcissistic headman Nassar, who becomes fixated on Jan and the threesome dynamic. After Peter falls deathly ill, Nassar pays Ron to leave and informs Jan she is now his property. Jan is forced to deconstruct every shifting betrayal to unearth the truth about why Peter had to die, and why Ron played with them for his own amusement. To truly break free, she must embrace her "demon" with a ruthlessness she never knew she possessed, leading to a violent climax that will sacrifice everything she has come to love. Because ultimately, the tribe must live with the consequences. TRIBE is a dark, atmospheric thriller that asks complex moral questions. It's an unflinching exploration of a young woman's transformation from victim to badass, forged in a crucible of psychological games and mortal danger. The story explores the intoxicating and terrifying nature of absolute freedom where lines blur, and survival demands a steep price.
