Two strangers. One phone. Everything on the line. “If you can solve the puzzle in one week, maybe you both deserve to live.” When rock star Violet Wilde wakes up, she doesn’t remember anything. She’s locked inside a cabin in the middle of nowhere with a cryptic note and a burner phone that dials a single number. A stranger named Bud Atwood answers Violet’s phone call.
