Pervicacious: Willful; Stubborn.

Tottenville, Staten Island.
Population: 470,000
Crime Rate: 4 per 1,000 residents.
That's over 1,880 known criminals walking the streets.
Some of them are sexual abusers. Ones that got away with what they did. Some of them killed their victims. One of them is more recent. When the Special Victims Unit gets called to Tottenville, a serial rape case turns even worse than it started. The one person that seems to be tied to all of them?
Fifteen-year-old Ash Korynn.

*Warnings for graphic self-harm, abuse, physical and sexual assault, self-destructive thoughts, eating disorders, suicide*
