When absolutely nothing in your life is as it appears, and danger follows you wherever you go, what do you do? Small-town boy Doug Chiswick is catapulted into adulthood and faces the real world when he leaves home for the first time for college.
But nothing and no one are what they seem. And it isn’t all in his head. He’s exposed to violence, betrayal, and death, and all because of one man, Ari. Doug tries to avoid him, even changing his country, his path in life, his friends. But wherever he goes, Ari is there. And with Ari, the threat of death is constant. Caught in a battle of wits, it’s only a matter of time before their rivalry reaches a breaking point.
Now, Doug must make the right move because he knows only one of them can prevail. If he makes the wrong decision, it might cost him his life.
