Broke Elliot enters a deadly manor to compete for a huge inheritance. His mission is to win over Bastian, a monstrous butler who could kill him at any moment. A mysterious voice orders Elliot to complete intimate tasks with Bastian—holding hands, kissing, even sharing a room—or die instantly. To survive, Elliot lies, plays innocent, and tries everything to make Bastian cooperate. But Bastian turns out to be Elliot’s childhood best friend who disappeared twelve years ago. After they recognize each other and fall in love, they plan to escape together. Then Elliot learns the truth: Bastian cannot leave unless Elliot gives up the inheritance and his freedom, stays behind, and becomes the next monster. What will Elliot choose? Can they escape the manor?
