Seven patients disappeared from Blackwood Psychiatric Facility at 2:13 a.m. Three weeks later, seven strangers were living inside an abandoned house on the outskirts of the city.
Kyle Jennings Age: 22 Height: 6'1" / 185 cm Ethnicity: Italian-American Occupation: Tattoo apprentice / underground mechanic The one who looks like he should be the leader but insists he isn't. Quiet, observant and difficult to intimidate. He rarely raises his voice because he doesn't need to. When everyone else is panicking, he becomes frighteningly calm. He simply believes: “If they're mine, nobody else gets to touch them.” He's sarcastic, stubborn and occasionally reckless. He also has a habit of disappearing for hours without explaining where he's been. Additions Sleeps with one earbud in. Has an almost photographic memory for faces. Doesn't trust doctors. Has a surprisingly gentle relationship with the youngest member of the group.
Liam Hale Age: 21 Height: 6'0" / 183 cm Ethnicity: Brazilian-Italian Occupation: Bartender / underground street racer Charismatic, impulsive and absolutely terrible at knowing when to stop. He's the group's chaos generator. He jokes during serious situations, flirts with danger, steals things he doesn't need and has an almost supernatural ability to turn a terrible situation into an even worse one. Unlike Kyle, Liam doesn't hide his anger. When he's furious, everyone knows. He's fiercely loyal but has serious abandonment issues and hates being left alone. Sleeps with the television on. Can talk his way out of almost anything. Has a terrible temper when someone threatens the girls. Constantly argues with Kyle. The two have nearly come to blows more than once. Secret: Liam deliberately caused part of the chaos during the escape because he knew something the others didn't.
Noah Blackwood Age: 23 Height: 6'2" / 188 cm Ethnicity: Irish-American Occupation: Night-shift security guard Noah is probably the quietest of the three guys. He notices everything. He remembers conversations word-for-word and has an unsettling ability to tell when someone is lying. He's polite. He's calm. He's almost painfully rational. Which makes it more disturbing when he occasionally says something completely detached from reality. Noah isn't the group's muscle or leader. He's the observer. Keeps hundreds of photographs hidden in boxes. Doesn't like having his own picture taken. Has insomnia. Knows several abandoned buildings around the city. Often sits awake while everyone else sleeps. He and one of the girls have a strange unspoken understanding.
Valerie Santos Age: 21 Height: 5'6" / 168 cm Ethnicity: Filipino-American Occupation: Makeup artist Val is sharp-tongued, theatrical and seemingly fearless. She can walk into a room full of strangers and immediately make everyone uncomfortable. She's incredibly perceptive but deliberately pretends she isn't. If someone hurts her, she'll smile first. Then she'll remember it forever. She's one of the most emotionally intelligent members of the group, but she's also capable of being incredibly manipulative. Changes her hair constantly. Keeps everyone's fake identities memorized. Has an obsession with old horror movies. Gives everyone ridiculous nicknames. Sleeps with music playing. She's usually the first person to notice when someone's behavior changes.
Sophia Moreau Age: 22 Height: 5'8" / 173 cm Ethnicity: French-American Occupation: Antique-shop worker / art restorer Sera is elegant, distant and unnervingly composed. She rarely reacts the way people expect. Someone could scream at her and she'd simply stare at them. She's intelligent and deeply private. Unlike Liam, she doesn't explode when angry. She becomes quieter. And somehow that's worse. She is fascinated by old things—old houses, old photographs, old books, old crimes. Can identify historical objects surprisingly well. Keeps a collection of antique keys. Hates fluorescent lights. Has an intense rivalry with Val. The two constantly insult each other but secretly trust one another.
Mika Reyes Age: 20 Height: 5'4" / 163 cm Ethnicity: Mexican-American Occupation: Piercer / convenience-store night clerk Mika looks like the least threatening person in the group. She's not. She's blunt, sarcastic and remarkably fearless. Mika has an almost pathological hatred of being controlled. Tell her she can't do something and she'll immediately do it just to prove you wrong. She's extremely loyal, especially toward people she considers vulnerable. She's also the group's best liar because she rarely looks like she's lying. Names objects around the house. Has a habit of stealing everyone's hoodies. Hates hospitals. Gets along surprisingly well with Noah. She and Liam constantly compete over who can get into more trouble.
The first thing Kyle noticed was that the cameras weren't working.
Not broken. Not damaged. Turned off.
Every hallway camera in Blackwood Psychiatric Facility had gone black at exactly 2:13 a.m.
The second thing he noticed was the screaming.
Not from the patients. From the staff.
He ran.
He didn't know where Liam was. He didn't know where Val was. He didn't know if any of them had made it out.
He only knew one thing.
The doors were unlocked. Every single one.
By the time the seven reached the woods behind the facility, the alarm still hadn't sounded.
That was what scared Kyle the most. They had escaped. And nobody was chasing them.
Three weeks later, they were living inside an abandoned house twenty miles outside the city.
No phones. No real names. No contact with anyone from their old lives.
They told themselves they were safe. Until Noah found the photographs.
Seven photographs. One for each of them.
They had been taken inside Blackwood. Except there was one problem.
The photographs were dated six months before any of them had been admitted.
Liam stared at his photograph. Then at the others. Nobody spoke.
Finally, Val whispered:
"We're not the ones who escaped."
The old telephone downstairs began to ring.
Once. Twice. Three times.
Nobody moved. Then someone picked it up. And a voice on the other end said:
"You were supposed to come home."
