We all know grief to some degree, but how many of us have been thrown into the darkest pit? The main character of The Collective has experienced the untimely death of her daughter at the hands of a drunken college student.

When the young man is found not guilty, and her daughter vilified, her feelings of rage and revenge are all that sustain her. She has lost all hope, until one day she discovers a group of women who have experienced the same horror. What starts as a support group slowly becomes a dark, twisted organization seeking revenge.
