The Agency of Supernatural Control built Freak Camp. They imprisoned Tobias when he was five years old. They let him walk out with Jake—but now they want him back.
Tobias's past leaves invisible wounds that demand Jake's patience and understanding. As they cautiously explore their tender, fragile connection, Jake is determined to respect Tobias's boundaries, even if it means their relationship develops slowly.
The ASC's reappearance threatens the life and trust they've carefully built together. Now that a new danger stands in their path, Jake and Tobias must rely on each other more than ever. Their ability to face this enemy together will determine not just their safety, but their whole future.
