When Ruth Price is suddenly taken from her home by two strangers, she's thrust into a terrifying world of secrets, lies, and betrayal. Claiming to be acting on her mother's wishes, the men transport Ruth across the country to a mysterious place called Broken Ridge.
As Ruth desperately seeks a way to escape and contact her father, she uncovers a sinister network operating just beneath the surface of society.
Meanwhile, Ruth's father has called in Ryan Lock to help recover his daughter...before it's too late.
This heart-stopping thriller delves into the shadowy world of American behavior modification programs, asking how far a parent will go to "fix" their child – and how far a child will go to be free.
