In this unlikely friendship, fueled by a shared disdain for the world, Penny and Charlie find solace in each other's company. As bodies begin to surface, a young girl goes missing, and their toxic bond evolves into something primitive and feral. The question remains: Will they ultimately destroy themselves or each other?

This powerful and gripping story explores the depths of human emotions, the consequences of trauma, and the destructive power of rage. It serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked emotions and the importance of seeking help and support in times of need.
