Scott is a dejected 24 year old struggling to make ends meet working for his brother and supplementing his income with a small-scale drug dealing operation. Angela is an attractive 23 year old, raised by her father, a career criminal and small time drug dealer who supplies Scott with cannabis.This is a chilling tale spanning a few months in the lives of Scott and Angela, where realizations about the present combine with shocking revelations from the past leading to an apocalyptic climax where they no longer know whom they can trust.

"3.5 ⭐️<br/><br/>Even though I read this fairly quickly, it seemed somewhat slow-going until about 2/3 of the way in.<br/><br/>I wasn't sure what direction we were headed in for a majority of the time as the main character spent a lot of time doing more of the same.<br/><br/>Once the story picked up, it was fast-paced and more exciting; it just took a little while to get there."
