Allie, desperate for proof that Brett is capable of caring about anything besides her own desires, wants Brett to find out who did what, and then do something about it. Faced with the reality that if she fails Allie again, it will be the last time, Brett walks into her worst nightmare. When It's All Relative, the prisoner taken could ultimately be Brett.Therese Szymanski's 8th Motor City Thriller explores the most terrifying darkness of all: the one inside Brett Higgins.
