Desperation can make you do wicked things.
Dylan Dugan has everything he could ask for. A lovely wife, a baby son, and a steady job.
All is going well—maybe too well—until an incident at work puts his entire future at risk.
And when he meets a strange twelve-year-old named Shane McAllister, his life takes a much darker turn. Shane wants Dylan to be his father. And he won't take no for an answer.
The more Dylan rejects the boy, the more Shane becomes his enemy. And when Dylan realizes the kid has real power over him, things rapidly spiral out of control.
No matter what Dylan does, Shane won't relent.
But Dylan knows what will put an end to it.
He just doesn't know if he's capable of it.
