When her stepbrother Evan suddenly shows unexpected kindness the night before her life-changing Columbia interview, she thinks maybe they're finally moving past their strained silence.

As she pieces together the truth, she realizes Evan's smile was never about kindness—and the person she trusted most in her home has been hiding a devastating secret. Some nightmares don't end when you open your eyes.
