PRE-ORDER ENTITLEMENT NOW - the exciting new novel from the author of Leave the World Behind, set to release in fall 2024.

A MAJOR GLOBAL NETFLIX ADAPTATION STARRING JULIA ROBERTS, KEVIN BACON, ETHAN HAWKE, AND MAHERSHALA ALI.

An electrifying novel about two families, strangers to each other, forced together on a long weekend that goes terribly wrong.

Amanda and Clay head out to a remote corner of Long Island, expecting a quiet escape from New York City, quality time with their teenage children, and a taste of the good life in the luxurious home they've rented for the week. But with a knock at the door in the middle of the night, the spell is broken.

Ruth and G. H., an older couple claiming to own the home, have arrived in a panic. These strangers say that a sudden blackout has swept the city and - with nowhere else to turn - they have come to the country seeking refuge.

With the TV and internet down and no cell service, the facts are hard to come by. Should Amanda and Clay trust this couple - and vice versa? What has happened back in New York City? Is the holiday home, far from civilization, truly a safe place for their families? And are they safe from one another?
