Albert only wanted to be someone else for a short time. Live a life free from his crazy, abusive parents, even for just a day. And the experimental drug he stole from his father's lab was the perfect escape. Too bad he became addicted. And too bad for everyone else he became a monster.

Claire can't wait to escape the small Oregon town that holds her prisoner with its gossip and ridicule of her family. The only thing keeping her from leaving before she graduates high school is her best friend Logan and her new relationship with Ethan--a boy she's liked for as long as she could remember.

But Albert's alter-ego has other plans for Claire. She isn't going anywhere.
