Gemma, 16, meets mysterious, attractive Ty in the airport. He seems familiar even if he is a little too old. She never imagines he’ll drug and kidnap her. When she awakes in a makeshift house in the Australian Outback surrounded by desert, Ty says he took her to save her, insisting that he’s loved her for years. He thwarts all attempts at escape. As she dreams of rescue Gemma can’t help listening to Ty’s stories, sympathizing with his troubled past, and starts wondering if the budding feelings she has for him are real or a survival mechanism.
