The Peretti family was dangerous. They always had been. The brothers were drowning in darkness, with only blood and the stench of money to comfort them. Then came their little sister. A tiny bundle of light who became the brothers' whole world in a matter of seconds, and showed them there was more to life than death.
Until she was cruelly ripped away from their bloodied yet protective grasp.
Her disappearance left them in a thicker darkness than before, so when their world appears again, will she be able to guide them out of their misery, or will she fall victim to her own darkness?
The bonds of family are strong, but are they strong enough to weave a broken family back together?
