A gripping tale of adventure and survival, this thriller follows a young traveller who sets off on what should be a carefree backpacking journey through Southeast Asia. When he falls in with a charismatic group of fellow wanderers, the trip takes an increasingly dark turn, leading him deep into dangerous territory where the boundaries between right and wrong begin to blur.

Part travel adventure, part psychological thriller, the story explores the intoxicating freedom of life on the road and the unsettling choices that can emerge when far from home. With its vivid evocation of the backpacker trail and mounting sense of unease, this is a compelling read for anyone who's ever been drawn to distant horizons—or wondered what might happen when the journey goes terribly wrong.
