A mute kidnapping survivor battles a brilliant bully's twisted claim of ownership.

Landon King, a celebrated intellect with sadistic tendencies, immediately destroys her peace with public humiliation. He then pivots, declaring she belongs exclusively to him and framing his fixation as reverence for a masterpiece.
