Some therapy heals. Some therapy possesses.
When ambitious psychology student Elira Vaughn is selected for an elite mentorship under the elusive Dr. Cassian Rhys, she believes her future is finally in reach. But Dr. Rhys isn't just a brilliant therapist-he's a puppeteer of the mind, known for manipulating desire and trauma into a kind of devotion.
As their sessions spiral from professional to erotic, Elira realises Cassian's methods go far beyond academic curiosity.
They call him a genius. A healer. A monster. Healing is only skin-deep. Control cuts deeper.
