A veces los sucesos más importantes de nuestra vida llegan sin que nos demos cuenta. El destino nos agarra por las solapas de forma inesperada y nos lleva por caminos imprevistos. A veces el miedo hace que ya nada vuelva a ser igual. Esa calurosa tarde de verano de 2010 un par de adolescentes descansaban aburridos sobre la hierba de un parque; un perro pasó a su lado y uno de los chicos se puso en pie. Ya no había vuelta atrás. Desde ese momento sus vidas cambiaron. Lo que en principio parecía un plan sencillo para conseguir algo de dinero se convirtió en un infierno de amenazas y tensión. Todo se complicó, nada resultó tan fácil como imaginaban. El destino les arrastró y, para evitar las consecuencias que se les avecinan, emprendieron una tortuosa huída hacia delante con un resultado inimaginable.

Cerebral gliomas account for 45% of all primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. The median survival after the initial diagnosis of glioblastoma (GBM) is only 15 months, and less than 10% of patients survive three years post-diagnosis. Surgical treatment followed by adjuvant therapies such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy represents the classical strategy in glioma management. The revised WHO 2016 classification now distinguishes the oligodendrogliomas with 1p19q codeletion and IDH mutation from the astrocytomas with or without IDH mutations, thereby creating homogenous and pathologically distinct subgroups. While the status of gene expression and mutations define components of GBM subtypes, it was also found that response to therapies was different for each subtype, suggesting that personalized treatment based on genomic alterations could lead to a more favorable outcome for this disease.
Daniella Logan, daughter of a film impresario, is stunned to see a group of robed men performing a ritual above the newly-turned earth of her father's grave. Daniella's father and his friends--politicians, newspaper magnates, highly-paid actors, top-flight surgeons, high-ranking police officials, and many more--are bound by an unholy blood pact that calls for the sacrifice of their first born children. Now, the more she learns, the more Daniella makes herself a target. But she must not be silenced, for she is not the only firstborn in danger, only the oldest.
