15 parts Ongoing MatureWelcome to the Sanctuary, a place of spiritual rebirth nestled in the barren desert. At least, that's what the recruitment videos promise. The truth is a lie wrapped in hope. The compound is a prison, sealed by fencing curved inward-not to keep intruders out, but to keep souls in. It is ruled by a man known only as The Messiah.
Charismatic, beautiful, and utterly psychotic, he commands absolute obedience through a twisted faith of fear, "Juju," and bizarre sexual rituals. He is a god with a temper and a severe cocaine addiction , and his followers are the broken masses who worship the ground he walks on.
In this hell, Mercy is the exception.
Wearing the red robe that marks him as "favored," Mercy is the Messiah's most prized possession-his gatekeeper, his advisor, and his sexual plaything. But where others are broken, Mercy is a weapon. He has never truly surrendered his will and is playing a dangerous game for survival.
He is surrounded by a hierarchy of rivals:
Prince Terrence: The ruthless second-in-command in black, a "personal bitch" to the Messiah who is consumed by jealousy.
Elder Mother Supreme: The 83-year-old head cook in green, a sadistic and powerful advisor who handles the compound's "dirty work" and buries its secrets.
Headmaster Oakley: The obsessive educator in yellow, responsible for indoctrinating new minds into the cult's twisted ways.
All of them want Mercy . But their desire is a vulnerability he can exploit.
When a brutal power struggle with Elder Mother Supreme escalates from a slap to a poisoned pie, Mercy must use his enemies' obsessions against them to survive. In a world where escape means public execution and unauthorized sex is punished with acid, the only way to win is to be more calculating and more brutal than the monsters who rule.
In the Sanctuary, mercy is just a name.
