Matt Evans made a promise to his late father—and to himself—to save the crumbling family business. With no bank willing to help, he ends up taking the wrong loan from the wrong man. Now Jeff Holden is banging on his door in the middle of the night, demanding his money back. Just when it seems the night would end with broken bones, Jeff offers a way out: pay off your debt by helping a scientist with his covert projects—and don’t ask any questions.
Although unconventional, the deal seems like a lifesaver. The scientist living in the heart of the forest is pleasant and professional, making Matt believe he might finally be catching a well-deserved break. But underneath the surface lies a minefield of twisted secrets and a personal crusade, unraveling with every new visit to the underground lab.
Matt must stop the growing flames of madness before they consume him, but can he survive the chaos that follows?
