Extended Synopsis

Nita doesn’t murder supernatural beings and sell their body parts on the internet—that's her mother's job. Nita’s role in the family business is strictly behind the scenes, methodically dissecting the monstrous bodies after they’ve been “acquired” so they can be sold on the black market. It's a gruesome but routine life, until her mother brings home a live specimen. Faced with a terrified teenage boy on her table, Nita realizes a line has been crossed and decides she wants out.

But doing the right thing comes at a steep price. When Nita helps her mother's victim escape, she ends up getting captured and sold in his place. Unbeknownst to her captors, Nita herself isn’t entirely human; she possesses the rare ability to alter her biology, making her an invaluable commodity on the very black market she used to supply. Trapped on the wrong side of the bars, Nita must tap into her darkest instincts to survive. If she wants to escape her grim fate, she must ask herself a chilling question: is she willing to become the worst kind of monster?
