The novel is a fast paced, exhilarating, two-person account of a young couple torn apart by deceit, betrayal and corruption. Join Claire and Aiden on their heart-breaking journey as they endeavour to find their way back to each others arms.

Aiden's life is thrown into turmoil when his girlfriend, Claire, is kidnapped by Andrew, her long-term stalker. Struggling to deal with his inability to save her, Aiden turns to his music and writes her a song.

Aiden's success-driven father, on overhearing Aiden's song, uploads it to the internet, unleashing a "Find Claire" campaign, which soon goes viral, capturing the heart of the nation. Initially furious with his father, Aiden comes to embrace the idea that his new-found fame might just get his girl back home to him. Will the young lovers ever escape their predicament, or will the campaign put Claire in even more danger...
