Blood Donor
THey have something everyone else wants.

Picture

​Seventeen-year-old Jo McNair is one minute late for her curfew and gets locked out. Cold and wandering the streets, she has nowhere to go. Jo meets someone who says they work with at-risk kids and gratefully accepts their offer of shelter for the night, only to find she has walked into a trap.

Jo and several other teens are being held prisoner. Their captors drug them and force them to donate their blood. Jo needs to get out—and fast.
