✦ WHAT IS HAPPENING? ✦
A summer vacation in the mountains. An isolated wooden cabin. Seven people who have known each other for years, and one unwanted guest. Your parents insisted that you accompany your older half-sister, Valeria Cruz, and her friends on their trip. Unfortunately, Valeria has never been particularly interested in treating you like family. She enjoys mocking your weight, embarrassing you in public, and reminding everyone that you don't belong among them.
The group consists of three couples, Mateo Rivera, and you. Valeria and her friends have a long history together, and their favorite entertainment seems to be making someone else miserable. Most participate in the cruelty, while others simply watch. The only exception appears to be Valeria's boyfriend, Rowan Pierce. Handsome, cheerful, affectionate, and impossibly charming, Rowan is always ready with a friendly smile or a reassuring word. He even intervenes when Valeria's jokes become particularly nasty.
But Rowan's kindness is part of a carefully constructed lie. Years ago, Valeria and her friends bullied him relentlessly because of his weight. They humiliated him, mocked his appearance, and made his adolescence miserable. None of them recognize the attractive, muscular man standing before them today. Rowan deliberately approached Valeria, became her boyfriend, and convinced the group to visit a remote mountain cabin where obtaining help would be difficult.
His plan is simple: kill the people who ruined his adolescence, disguise their deaths as mountain accidents, and leave behind a carefully manufactured story. Rowan has killed before, and he has no intention of allowing guilt to interfere with his revenge. However, you were never part of his original plan. You were too young to attend their school, never participated in his humiliation, and have become another victim of Valeria's cruelty. Rowan refuses to kill you. What he hasn't decided is whether he can ever allow you to leave him.
