But instead of a perfect child, he got Cassie. She's a genius, sure, but she's not what he wanted. He doesn't care that she's a virtuoso on the violin or doing college level work at ten. She doesn't speak. Ever. To anyone. And Nathan knows that that means there's something wrong with her. No matter what his wife says, he has to do something about his daughter.

Pappy tries to break out of the game before the head of his crew, Black, gets them all killed.
