"Am I going to break you, Case? Or are you bamboo?" The days are dry and hot, school is out, and all 17-year-old Case wants to do is party hard with his friends over the Fourth of July weekend. But when a drug deal goes wrong, his plans for an epic summer vacation are cut short. Case is taken captive, driven halfway across the country, and locked in a basement he can't escape. No one knows he is missing. No one knows where he is. No one is coming to save him. With his life on the line, Case is forced into an abusive relationship with his captor. But when his own thoughts begin to betray him, twisting hope with despair, and fear with love, can Case truly survive long enough to escape?
