What we bind can’t be unbound…

Stuck on a remote, rainy island all summer, Jack, Tressa and Milo think their holiday is doomed until they find the other children, and the den.

Soon Jack and the others are initiated into a secret society, the Binding, led by charismatic Duncan, with elaborate rules, ceremonies… and punishments.

Jack wants to belong. He doesn’t want trouble. But as the summer goes on and the truth comes out, he realizes that he’ll have to stand up to Duncan—whatever it costs.

A tense, compulsive exploration of the effects of secrets, authority, boredom, and fear.
