Burning Out

Description

Violet has a good job, a luxury apartment, a successful life. But she feels drained and pressurised and, on the verge of snapping, retreats to her home town. There, she meets a girl: carefree, sassy, vivacious and everything Violet wishes she was. Slowly, though, comes the realisation that this girl is living Violet's own past. Haunted by her past self, Violet knows that history will repeat itself - and knows that it will have catastrophic consequences.
