Method 15/33
Imagine a helpless, pregnant 16-year-old who's just been yanked from the serenity of her home and shoved into a dirty van. Kidnapped… Alone...Terrified.
Now forget her…
Picture instead a pregnant, 16-year-old, manipulative prodigy shoved into a dirty van. From the first moment of her kidnapping, she feels a calm desire for two things: to save her unborn son and to exact merciless revenge.
She is methodical—calculating—scientific in her plotting. She might be a clinical sociopath. Method 15/33 is what happens when the victim is just as cold as the captors.
