Two lives. One collision.

Anthony Pickins is perfection personified. Brilliant, successful, and adored by everyone around him, he seems to have it all. Yet behind his flawless exterior lies a deep emptiness-a suffocating boredom that makes every day feel like the last. Life is a game to him, but the stakes are low, and the thrill is gone.

Anderson Rivera, on the other hand, is anything but perfect. Forced to juggle odd jobs for dangerous people to keep food on the table for his sister, he's constantly fighting just to survive. His life is messy, chaotic, and filled with impossible choices-yet he endures, his spirit burning with a quiet defiance.

When their worlds unexpectedly collide, Anthony finds himself drawn to Anderson's raw, unpolished existence. What begins as curiosity soon becomes something darker, as Anthony begins to manipulate the only person who's ever made him feel alive. But Anderson isn't as easy to control as he appears.

In a world of privilege and struggle, perfection and imperfection, the lines between enemy and ally begin to blur. Will Anthony break Anderson's spirit-or will Anderson tear down the walls Anthony has so carefully built around his own heart?
