Polyglot and Harvard freshman, Ever, is in a Brooklyn warehouse for a night of EDM and ecstasy. Through her sweet-sounding delirium, she meets Samantha, a gorgeous upscale enigma, who teases her all the way back to her bed, where they consume themselves in everything illegal and pleasurable. A former foster child pushed from home to home, Ever craves love, and she dreams she's found it in Samantha. Until the next morning—when she wakes up to find herself temporarily paralyzed in a hotel bathtub and her one-night stand gutted for her kidney. Too frightened to go to the police for answers, she teams up with an in-debt organ broker, who promises to help her get revenge in return for information that will lead him to a mysterious fortune. Ever soon discovers that nothing—not even herself—is as it seems as she’s carried forward into New York City’s dissolute underworld of counterfeiters, cannibals, and ruthless crime lords, all of whom now know her face and her involvement. Over the next twelve hours, as she’s intoxicated by her own dark instincts for violence, Ever must sacrifice every last piece of herself to survive this startling new reality.
