Fourteen-year-old Rory Lockhart never expected to become a kidnapper. At least, that's what the news calls her. The truth is far more complicated, and far more terrifying.
Something is wrong in her grandmother's house. The little things at first - movements in the corner of her eye, the way shadows stretch too long across the walls, the unfamiliar coldness in familiar smiles. Rory has always been called paranoid, anxious, an overthinker. But what if, just this once, her fears are justified?
With her six-year-old brother in tow, she does the unthinkable: she runs. But you can't outrun something that's already inside your head, inside your home, inside your life. As the authorities label her a troubled teen and the manhunt closes in, Rory discovers that the real monsters aren't always the ones hiding under your bed - sometimes they're hiding in plain sight.
