Don’t Hurt My Cat

Damien has severe manic psychosis; his only anchor is his black cat Lily. He moves to an upscale neighbourhood for a fresh start, but neighbours Marcus and Elena torment him—setting their dog on Lily, forcing him to kneel, dousing him with alcohol, trampling him publicly. He endures for Lily, but their cruelty escalates. The cat is the last line between his sanity and breakdown.
