A crime thriller with an ending you won't expect.

Some people are born bad, and then get worse.

When a young boy is abducted, his parents pay a huge ransom, following the kidnapper’s instructions to the letter. But instead of getting their son back, they receive a package containing one of his fingers and a note demanding more money. 

Will detectives get lucky and catch the sadist? Or will the unthinkable happen?

Set in Wellington, New Zealand, over a period of one grueling week, this story is about a darker side of human nature and what parents will do to protect their child.
