The Addict

By: Charlie Noir

Narrated by: Ivan Morea, Dani Staro, Lucas Troy

Noah Hansen is the 19-year-old son of the Chief of Police. He risks his life daily with a combination of drug use and dangerous sexual encounters. He is chaotic and impulsive, constantly placing himself in harm's way just to get an adrenaline rush. He has maps of trauma that he keeps hidden and secrets he has never shared. Instead of facing his issues, he buries them.

Delane Marsh is a kindhearted, college student. She's loyal to her friends but naïve to most of life's dangers. The majority of her days are spent working and studying, and obsesses over perfection. One night, she just so happens to arrive at the wrong place, wrong time. Her whole life as she knows it changes in a split second.

Silas Thorne is a well-known business magnate, set to inherit his uncle's wealth and corporations. He grew up in the spotlight of fame and money. He is skilled in manipulation tactics, underhanded business deals and—above all—is deeply infatuated with Noah. He is calculated, cold, and stops at nothing to get what he wants.

Unexpectedly, Noah finds himself face to face with the young and captivating Delane. He is forced to make a decision. Save her, a stranger, from her attackers—or don't get involved.

If one of the attackers hadn't been Silas Thorne, Noah’s childhood adversary, his choice might have been more simple. So he does it. He strikes a one time deal to save Delane—using his body as a gamble. He knows he will never see her again.

Little does Noah know, he won't be finished with the transaction any time soon. As he battles his traumas and addictions, he becomes ensnared in the lives of both Delane and Silas. Unsuspectingly, a too close to home predator from his past threatens to destroy him entirely.

And this time, he doesn't know if he will survive.

Dani plays not just Delane, but all females on point! She made each character have their own personality. The emotions throughout each character was know how they were feeling by the tone in her voice.

I couldn’t think of a more perfect person to play Silas than Lucas. Even the side characters that Lucas played, especially David, you can feel the dedication to each character and hear the feelings that the character was feeling.
