There’s only one exit from a cul-de-sac.
In the manicured suburbs of Northern Virginia, Jacquie lives the dream: a beautiful neighbourhood, a successful American husband, and two happy children. But behind the doors of their family home, all is not as picturesque as it seems.
A trip home to her mother’s alpaca farm on the rugged south coastof New South Wales was supposed to be a simple holiday. Instead, the salt air clears her vision. Away from Brandon’s shadow and controlling behaviours, Jacquie and her children finally begin to breathe – and she realises she can never go back.
But Brandon is a man who refuses to lose. With the threat of international parental abduction charges hanging over her like a guillotine, Jacquie is trapped. If she stays, she’s a criminal. If she returns, she’s his prey.
How far will a mother go to save her children from a picture-perfect life?
