A spring break road trip turns into a horrorshow when Riley's friends are murdered by a family of serial killers. But her fate may be even worse, because the Duvall brothers want to keep her...

Riley

My friends are dead. Sometimes I envy them, because now I'm stuck here alone, chained up in the basement of a family of psychopaths.

But I'm determined to survive. And that means I have to keep these two insane brothers happy. Kai is different than the rest; sometimes it seems like he might have a heart. If I can manipulate him into falling in love with me, he might set me free. But if I don't stay on his brutal brother Knox's good side, he'll make sure I never see daylight again.

It's a dangerous game, keeping both brothers interested... and I'm not sure if I can trust either one.

Kai

Every day, I wake up and do whatever Dad tells me to. I clean, feed the animals, take care of Momma, and butcher the bodies when the rest of my family is done having their fun.

I've never known a life other than this.

But Riley changes everything for me. She's kind. She's smart. And most of all, she treats me like an actual person. I know she deserves better than being a prisoner and a plaything for Knox.

With her whispering in one ear and my brother in the other, sooner or later, I'm going to have to choose: let Riley die, or kill my family to set her free...
