Description

In this gory thriller by Bram Stoker award nominee Gemma Amor, a couple of lonely misfits on their first date are kidnapped and held captive in the remote wilds of the Norfolk Broads... will they be able to escape?

Deciding to end years of loneliness, Amandine takes a leap of faith and enters the dating pool. After seemingly endless disappointments, it seems her luck has changed when she meets Connor, another lonely heart.

What starts as a dinner date ends in a night that will change their lives forever. For neither of them knows that they are being watched by a killer whose primary target is happy couples.

Soon, Amandine and Connor will find themselves fighting for their lives. Their only chance of survival lies in each other, but can they work as a team to escape before their time runs out?

And even if they do, will they ever be able to escape each other?
