When 21 year old Jamie Quinn is court-ordered into therapy after a violent outburst lands him in legal trouble, he meets Dr. Marcus Whitmore, a 38 year old therapist with his own unresolved darkness. Their sessions start professional but shift into something more intimate and obsessive - for both of them. What begins as an emotionally vulnerable connection mutates into manipulation, control, and finally, desire. Both are haunted, lonely, and starved for affection, but the power imbalance makes it impossible to tell whether it's real - or just dependency dressed as love.

Aleksander Volkov (29) is a self-made billionaire with a mysterious past, running a powerful media-tech empire. Though the world sees him as cold, distant, and perfect, behind closed doors, he's isolated, touch-starved, and bored of the luxury life. Daniel Cruz (17), a final-year high school student, is bright, witty, emotionally mature, and breathtakingly beautiful in a soft, ethereal way. He's openly gay, supported by his easygoing parents who adore him, even if they don't fully understand him. Their lives collide when Daniel is accepted into an elite youth art mentorship run by Aleksander's foundation. A spark ignites instantly-but both know the age difference, power imbalance, and looming judgment make things complicated.
