Table Read: DUE

What if the deal that saved your life came back to collect — through your child? Due begins with a seventeen-year-old on the verge of death.

In her darkest moment, she whispers one word: deal. She survives.

Nine years later, the rent is due. Written by Kathryn Zizek — a new mother who drew from the disorientation of raising a newborn to fuel every scene — Due uses the terror of early motherhood as the canvas for something far darker.

The black eyes of a looming anesthesiologist. A best friend who isn't quite right.

The creeping feeling that nobody is listening, nobody believes you, and something is very, very wrong with your child. It's a horror story grounded in real fear.

And it has a twist you won't see coming. "Those are things that could happen in your head — am I going crazy, or is this real?" "That vulnerability as a parent is so apparent here.

Your whole job is just to keep them alive." "Write what you know. She used her real-life experiences to fuel every nuance — and you can feel it."
