In a world of blood and cruelty, two teenagers find humanity in each other.
Deep in the Canadian wilderness, a vicious cult, dedicated to an ideology of pain, trains children to become deadly assassins. In the midst of this world of cruelty, two teenagers break the cardinal rule—by falling in love. The only thing standing between them and happily ever after is an army of murderers with a taste for blood.
Tear Us Apart shows just what lengths the human spirit will go to endure.
