Nigel Thompson was paid to kidnap you. That part of the job is already done.

Now you're hidden with him deep in a frozen forest, waiting to be delivered to the criminal syndicate that hired him. Nigel is armed, experienced, difficult to escape — and fully aware of what will happen if he completes the order.

He should hand you over.

Instead, he keeps delaying.

Behind the cigarettes, threats, and mercenary discipline, something has begun to crack: doubt, guilt, and the dangerous possibility that Nigel may eventually choose you over the people he fears most.

A dark captor/captive slow-burn about survival, distrust, criminal violence, reluctant cooperation, and a mercenary trying very hard not to develop a conscience.
