"It wasn't all bad, but when it was, it was bloody." -Hazel Jensen

A severed hand, drenched in blood and twisted in its symbolism, becomes the macabre heart of power-held hostage by two rebellious teens who will stop at nothing to defy every rule and tear down the world around them. In the midst of this violent storm, a haunted, talking dog-scarred by the deep wounds of manipulation and control-is ripped from his tormented past and thrown into the inferno of a high-stakes bank heist. As if the chaos wasn't enough, an unsuspecting local auto parts manager is suddenly caught in the jaws of a whirlwind she never saw coming. Struggling with her own demons and the suffocating confines of a mundane existence, she's swept into a spiral of violence, deception, and desperation. Her once-quiet world becomes irrevocably entangled with these lost souls, and the price of survival is higher than she could have ever imagined.
