ADDICTION IS A CRUEL MISTRESS
Little Kayla Smith grew up in a loving home in the south of Ireland with her two sisters and mother. She loved her upbringing but understood as she got older that it was different to most of her friends.
Her mother was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia when Kayla was three years old and suffered delusions about the government spying on her family, tapping the phones, and tracking the families every move. She spoke of the watchers, men and women who blended into the environment around them who she was convinced were watching...waiting.
Now an adult, Kayla is plagued with the memories of her mother and the life of torment she was forced to endure, however, after a random encounter with a stranger, Kayla's memories take on a whole new meaning, and her life is suddenly changed forever.
