When successful businessman Kaiser Johnson reunites with his high school savior-the soft-spoken, long-vanished Alex Antonio-what begins as an act of kindness quickly unspools into something darker. Alex is no longer the boy who once defended him. He's haunted, erratic, and hiding wounds deeper than anyone can see.
Kaiser offers him a home. A second chance. But love twisted by guilt becomes control, and healing warped by history becomes obsession. The closer they grow, the more the past claws its way into the present-until desire turns violent and the truth refuses to stay buried.
In a house meant to protect them, they both begin to break.
