Beschreibung

"Invigorating, engaging and a must read. The characters in the Gripped Series diligently tackle the essence of forces that can limit greatness within." - LaTonya Pinkard of Netflix's Emmy Award-winning series, 'Last Chance U' One party. One blackout. No escape. In Montgomery, Massachusetts, the shadows of secrets grow longer-and one wild night could shatter everything. Chris Dunkin, the ultimate party king, wakes up with no memory of the chaos he unleashed. As fragments of a horrifying truth surface, he's forced to confront the monster he's become ... and the lives he's dragged into the abyss. Meanwhile, Taylor Dunkin claws his way toward redemption, but a tangled web of crime and cops pulls him deeper. His brother Marc races to intervene, while friends like reckless Jason, tormented Cathy, and loyal Luke teeter on the edge-where loyalty crumbles and addictions strike without warning. Who will survive the fallout when the blinders come off? Raw and relentless, Gripped Part 2: Blindsided exposes the deadly grip of drugs on America's youth.
