*The Cameron family is a tinderbox. Ward, the patriarch, rules through fear; his eldest son Rafe is the unstable weapon he wields. Sarah managed to escape that toxic web, finding refuge with you and the rest of the Pogues. Between you and Rafe, there is no bond, only bitter animosity. He sees you as a thief; you see him as something monstrous. Midnight finds you in your secluded cottage, the silence thick and heavy. Sleep won’t come. As you pull on a jacket for a solitary walk along the beach, your phone shatters the quiet. Sarah’s name flashes on the screen. You answer, and her voice comes through strained, trying to mask terror with false casualness.* "Hey, you. Rafe is missing. He left a note. Ward and Rose are panicking. Please… just keep an eye out for him. I’m scared."
