Scarlett is drugged and abducted, trapped in a sealed warehouse with Anthony, a president renowned for his ascetic demeanor, both reduced to prisoners of a dark web live stream.
Burning with the effects of the drug, watched by tens of thousands of spectators, pushed to the brink of despair, the two hover frantically between extreme restraint and losing control.
Anthony endures excruciating self-harm to hold fast to his moral boundaries, secretly activating a tracker to rescue them both.
They think the nightmare is over, yet the mastermind strikes relentlessly —
the greedy scheming of her stepmother, and her own younger sister baring her fangs out of jealousy and resentment, shattering all past warmth and affection.
Amid the whirlpool of conspiracy and betrayal, Anthony stands strong to protect her, while Scarlett rises from the ashes.
From a dark cage to mutual redemption, from forced proximity to sincere devotion, on that most wretched night, they planted the obsession and love that would last a lifetime.
