When teenage cannibal Maren is rejected by her family, she is forced into a life alone and on the run.

Until she meets Lee.

Tall, brooding and mysterious, he sees Maren for who she is: someone like him.

Maren's small world breaks wide open. And as they embark on a journey of longing and survival, Lee teaches her how to live.

Their bond makes them untouchable. Their blistering love is palpable.

But will it save them from a world in which they don't belong? . . .
