When a mysterious voice guides Nathan through unimaginable torture and captivity, he discovers his lifeline is a real woman named Shea—and then she vanishes, leaving him desperate to find her. Years later, Shea emerges from hiding to ask for the one thing she never wanted to do: pull him back into danger. What unfolds is an emotionally charged reunion between two people who've already touched each other's souls, now discovering that their connection runs even deeper in person than it did in the darkness. Nathan won't let her face her pursuers alone, but Shea must learn that some bonds are strong enough to weather any storm—and that the man she saved is absolutely intent on saving her right back.
Reading soundtrack
Dark, sensual indie and R&B with haunting vocals—think Cigarettes After Sex, SZA, The Weeknd. Moody synths meet raw intensity. Forbidden reconnection, dangerous devotion, whispered confessions in shadows. Atmospheric tension bleeding into heated passion.
