In the heart of Hope County, the Deputy fights tirelessly for the resistance, risking everything to protect the innocent and dismantle the Seed family's cult. But her courage draws the attention of John Seed-a man she knows is dangerous, unhinged, and utterly obsessed with her. At first, she sees him as insane, a chaotic force to avoid at all costs.
Yet John's obsession is patient and relentless. With every whispered word, lingering glance, and carefully orchestrated encounter, he begins to chip away at her confidence, planting doubt, stoking fear, and entwining desire with intimidation. His jealousy flares at her every connection to the resistance, his manipulations as precise as any weapon. Even as she fights for her home and allies, she feels the pull of his dark charm-an intoxicating, terrifying force that threatens to claim her mind, body, and will.
Caught between fear and fascination, the Deputy faces an impossible choice: submit to the man she knows is insane, risking everything she's fought for, or resist him and lead the resistance-knowing that her defiance might come at the ultimate cost.
