In Barren Cape, bestselling author Michelle Prak delivers a spine-chilling thriller that delves into the harrowing realities of homelessness and survival. Former housemates Mac and Erika find themselves without a place to call home. While Erika can return to her parents' house until she secures another rental, Mac faces a more dire situation, relying on the goodwill of friends for temporary shelter. During a solitary drive, Mac stumbles upon Barren Cape, an abandoned resort once destined for luxury but now left in decay. Seeking refuge, she decides to stay, believing it's a temporary solution. However, as Erika joins her, the desolate location reveals unforeseen dangers, pushing them to confront unthinkable choices.

Former housemates Mac and Erika are homeless.
Well, Erika is fine, she just has to live with her parents until she can find another rental. Mac's situation is much worse – family isn't an option and she's surfing the couches of her increasingly exasperated friends.
Driving around one lonely afternoon, Mac discovers Barren Cape. Once destined to be a luxury escape, now it's just wire fence and gray cement.
It's stark, but quiet. There's no harm in staying a little while…
From the bestselling author of The Rush comes a spine-chilling thriller about what happens when people are pushed to the edge and forced to make unthinkable choices.
