Where does evil come from...Is it born or is it created? Claire grew up isolated; a secret her parents kept after a desperate attempt to shut out the cruel world that had wronged them. But at fifteen years old, Claire's desire to step beyond the boundaries of her parent's seclusion outweighs all consequences she may face if caught. When Claire's scheme to be set free becomes a reality, it's Brian who promises to help her, protect her even. Until Brian becomes just another pawn in Claire's evil charade.
