“You’re going to be my good boy, Toby. I just know it. You’re already on the path. We just have to keep going.”Ryder wakes with concrete against his cheek and no memory of how he ended up on a thin bed on a concrete floor. He has nothing: no phone, no friends, only a stranger’s voice telling him to “bark.”His captor Griffin claims ownership first with a collar, then with rules: bark for water, strip for warmth, submit for kindness. What begins as coercion becomes a slow, bruising curriculum designed to rewrite Ryder’s identity.As Ryder inches toward compliance, he also learns the contours of Griffin’s wounds—fame lost and trauma that taught him ownership is easier than connection. The stakes are clear: stay and be remade, keep fighting and risk a slow erasure of everything he is, or somehow find a way out. Which will survive—the self he was, or the life shaped by the man who had taken him captive?
