What would you do to survive?
Jessica has spent her life flying under the radar. She works an unassuming job at a grocery store, smiles when she's supposed to, and does enough to pass as normal. Beneath the surface, though, something isn't right. And she's learned to keep it buried.
Until the day everything unravels.
Caught in the chaos of an active shooter situation, Jessica is forced to make a choice: run and die or let the darkness inside her free. She chooses the latter, and when it's over, she's hailed as a hero.
But Jessica knows better. What she did wasn't bravery. It was instinct. Something primal. And now that the mask has slipped, it's not so easy to put it back on.
