Carl finds himself walking home through Central Park at midnight after a long night of bussing tables and dealing with picky people. He knows it's dangerous, for more than one reason, but it shortens his trip by a few minutes and he needs to get home in time to send his sister off to school. If he had listened to the warnings, maybe he wouldn't have met Victor. Victor is a man with piercing golden eyes and a dangerous smile. He was out looking for a midnight snack when he decided to play with his food. From two different worlds, forced together by circumstance, can the two stop fighting long enough to escape persecution and save each other?
