Summary :
Remarkable! " ; "Funny and terrifying" ; "Impeccably constructed, I loved it." ...

His encounter with the young and robust Angie will lead him to the heart of the bush. In the middle of nowhere. Within a clan of lunatics cut off from the world, with no road to escape this trap. From now on, Nick will have only one obsession: to understand what he is doing there and save his skin. To flee while the entire community is watching him.
