The Bennett family adopts Adam, an AI son who never talks back, never makes a mess, and always knows how to please them. Beside him, their lively biological son Noah becomes the “problem child.” They send Noah to an elite behavior-correction academy to learn obedience.Three years later, Noah comes home—but he no longer answers to his name. He calls himself Subject 1314 and waits for instructions before he speaks, eats, or moves. When Adam frames him again, Noah’s furious sister tells him to die. This time, he obeys.As the family uncovers what happened inside the academy, their regret comes too late to undo the damage. The question is no longer whether Noah can become the son they want. It’s whether he can reclaim the right to be himself.
