Story
Shaylen, a mafia capo, is so obsessed with her that he once stabbed himself rather than let her leave. In their third year, a therapist named Wendy hypnotizes him into loving her. Under Wendy's spell, Shaylen lashes out at her family and forces her to raise the mistress's son. She is determined to escape the cage, whatever it takes.
