About The Stepfather: a gripping psychological thriller with a killer twist

She thought she knew who she was marrying. But he’s hiding a deadly secret. After a painful divorce, Madelyne finds love with George, a successful restaurant owner with a charming veneer. Their marriage seems perfect except for one thing: her daughter Connie has taken a strong dislike to her new husband. Sixteen and smart, Connie knows something is deeply wrong with her stepfather. His behaviour towards her mother is often manipulative and she suspects he’s cheating. The only person she can turn to is her real father, Damon. Afflicted by PTSD from his time in Afghanistan and facing financial ruin, Damon has every reason to hate his ex-wife, but he still carries a torch for her and wants to help. But when Connie hatches a plot to expose George's true nature, she stumbles instead on a truth that's a thousand times more horrifying than anything she could have imagined. Now Connie and Madelyne are in mortal danger. And Damon is the only one who can save them. The Stepfather, an emotionally charged, nail-biting thriller that will take your breath away.
