Cass McBride is the most popular girl in school, but that doesn’t mean everyone loves her. Kyle Kirby blames her for the death of his brother David. So Kyle’s planned a cruel and unusual revenge on her: He digs a hole, kidnaps Cass, and puts her in a box—underground.
Buried alive, lying in the deepest dark, Cass finds a weapon. She uses the power of words to keep her nemesis talking—and herself breathing—during the most harrowing 48 hours of her life.
