A twisty serial-killer thriller about a kidnapped young woman who is trained to fight back.

They thought she was easy prey... They took the wrong girl.


High school senior Brandi Hunt lives for the moment, without rules or immediate consequences. After her meth-addicted mother is arrested, she's sent to live with her father, Jack, who she hasn't seen since she was a child.

He's a strict disciplinarian and a veteran suffering from paranoia and PTSD. Despite his demons, he's determined to set his daughter on the straight and narrow, albeit with unconventional methods that include: extreme training sessions on survivalism, self-defense, marksmanship, and even guerilla warfare.

But when Jack’s boot camp has a serious casualty, Brandi is finished with her crazy father...

Several years later, while working as a cashier at a fast-food restaurant, Brandi is approached with a modeling opportunity. Despite her misgivings, the lure of easy money is too much to resist.

Red flags wave when the handsome photographer drives her to a remote cabin for the modeling shoot. However, Brandi is blinded by her infatuation, even when he crosses the line of professionalism.

But they aren't alone. When the photographer vanishes, she's left naked and alone. The perfect prey to be snagged by the stranger watching from the woods.

Brandi cannot imagine the hell that is planned for her. It’s a rigged game that only ends one way. Will she survive or die? And either way, can she take a few of them with her first?
