How do you save your child from the darkness inside them -- when it's already too late?
One rainy night, Jennifer Hanson comes home to a nightmare she can never unsee: her twelve-year-old son, Shane, is stabbing their family cat to death. For years, Jennifer has feared Shane's coldness, the way he's been since "that accident" with his father -- a tragedy everyone calls a fluke. But now, it's clear: something is broken inside him. Something is growing.

As her son shifts from troubled to terrifying, Jennifer is desperate to believe he can be saved. But when she discovers shocking photos of a dead girl on Shane's phone -- a girl the whole town thought died by misfortune -- Jennifer must face what no mother wants to admit. How do you stop a child who was born evil?

WARNING: This is a pitch-black psychological thriller exploring the most unsettling corners of parental fear. If you prefer lighter suspense or steer clear of disturbing fiction, this one is not for you.
