She watches. She waits. She can be patient.
Nora's life is hell, a living hell. A daughter who cares more about her doll than her own mother, an ex-husband who's late on the bills, and a house that's falling down around her. Could things get any worse?
Makenzie just wants a mother who won't judge her, and wishes her best friend could speak. There's nothing worse than being alone, when no one can here you scream.
Suzy Q hears everything. Sees everything. Knows everything. She knows Makenzie's love. Nora's abuse. The alcohol. The hate. The jealousy. She is a product of all these things, and she watches. She waits. She's patient.
Oh, and Peanut? He's the dog. Don't get too attached.
A hair-raising, subtly disturbing, horror story all about what makes us human, what can make a mother hate her daughter, and what can make her daughter's best friend finally take action. Enough is enough; follow Suzy Q as an observer in this sick tale as she learns what she'll do for Makenzie. What she'll do to Nora to protect her.
