Tiernan has spent her entire life feeling invisible, even surrounded by wealth and fame—until a tragic loss lands her in the remote Colorado mountains under the guardianship of her uncle and his two sons. As these rugged men teach her to survive in the wilderness, she discovers something she never had before: a place where she truly belongs. But as the lines between safety and desire blur in their isolated world, Tiernan finds herself caught in a complicated web of protection and possession that forces her to confront just how much she's willing to care—and who she's willing to trust with her heart. This is a dark, intense exploration of found family and the dangerous allure of being truly seen by someone.
Reading soundtrack
Dark, sensual indie and alternative rock with smoldering R&B undertones. Moody, isolated mountain atmosphere meets intense desire. Artists like The National, SZA, Hozier, Cigarettes After Sex, and Arctic Monkeys. Brooding, possessive, and utterly intoxicating.
