Solipstice

Is Tamara's older brother Richard fatally cursed? Tamara doesn't give a fuck. While her parents are experimenting with unorthodox methods to save their only son, they barely notice that their teenage daughter is increasingly drifting into homelessness.  While she is looking for places to sleep, Tamara is plagued by migraines, black-outs, and torn skin around her stomach. Did she inherit her medical problems from her grandfather Wolfgang, who mysteriously ended up dead in a local cave? And why do some of the men Tamara encounters go missing shortly after? Only when she comes face to face with a deadly predator, does Tamara finally realize the true nature of her heritage.
