When left alone, thoughts are suffocating. They consume all your energy bit by bit and sting every little corner of your being capable of feeling.
It's hard to shut them out.

Rafe Cameron is a sucker for the white powder he breathes in on a regular basis; one which he pays for with dear old daddy's hard earned corrupted money.

It's not that deep, really. He may have a slight problem but in his eyes, nobody's perfect — the only thing close to perfection he's ever seen is the gold-dust haired angel who graces the revolting grounds of The Cut.
She's everything he isn't. She's everything he could never be. And yet, it feels like an unbreakable spell has been cast on him because holy shit does she make him feel.

And then there's Rafe.
The oldest but by far the most disturbed member of the family. He's not sure when exactly it happened but somewhere down the road to excellence, he strayed off to a path which stained him with uncontrollable vices.
