Kate lives a life of reckless adventure. Pills, parties, sugar daddies, money, friends, alcohol. The best part is, no one's around to stop her. She's free; she has the life destined for the ultimate American teenage dream. Her life careens as her memorable escapades slowly drag her down a rabbit hole she thought people only dreamt up in their worst of nightmares. A striving for the ideal body falls from her control, gaining a life of its own. The pills, booze, and money paves the way to conspiracies so deep, the only way out is further in. As everything brings her further down the rabbit hole, things take a sinister turn. After all, death has a way of turning the luxury life of partying into a hell deeper than anyone could have foreseen. There's only one thing left to do: keep the secret chained, and run. Above all, remember the unwritten rule: don't snitch, and don't get caught. Trigger Warning: includes drug use, explicit language, escorts, partying, self harm, eating disorders, death, depression and suicidality, and all kinds of dangerous situations. Violence may be included. Sexual violence, if mentioned, will not be explicit or glorified. Disclaimer: events loosely based on my own experiences. This is to shed awareness on a dark and deadly thrillride of a world many people don't know exists right under their noses.
