Summary
They escaped.
That was supposed to be the hard part.
After fleeing the town that had taken everything from them, Ryan and Naim arrive in Melbourne with no plan, no certainty, and no idea what comes next. Ryan has a backpack and a destination. Naim has nothing but the clothes he ran away in and the guilt he carries for the role he played in bringing the nightmare to Ryan's doorstep.
In a city where no one knows their names, they have to learn how to survive without fear following their every step—and how to find forgiveness when the person they hurt is the only person they have left.
Because leaving was easy.
Learning how to live with what they carry is the hard part.
