설명
In the heart of London, an ordinary convenience store transforms into a scene of terror as a group of customers, including a young mother, find themselves taken hostage. The tension escalates with each passing moment as their lives hang in the balance and the captors reveal their chilling demands. The ordinary life of the city continues outside, oblivious to the chaos within, creating a stark contrast that heightens the urgency and desperation of the situation.
As the story unfolds, each character's backstory is peeled back like layers of an onion. The young mother, caught between her instincts to protect her child and the fear gripping her, struggles to maintain hope. The author crafts a gripping narrative that delves into human psychology and the complexities of life under pressure, weaving together suspense and emotional depth in a way that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat.
