Stranger (Lucas)

Overview

Two strangers sit side by side on a night flight across the United States. Gradually, each reveals things they have never spoken about before: Linda is terrified of flying and traveling with a great deal of cash as well as enough pills to kill herself; Hush has just been released from a maximum security prison after serving fifteen years for kidnaping a young girl and keeping her alive inside a trunk for over a year. An alliance grows based on the shocking aspects of their personal histories. They end up together in a crude cabin in the middle of nowhere at night. Here they learn things about themselves and each other that change their lives irrevocably. A mystery, a tragedy, a love story, a requiem, and a jaw dropping shocker, Stranger is not suitable for bedtime reading.
