A dark psychological thriller about a powerful man's descent into sex addiction and the unraveling of his carefully constructed life.

Sam Ellis is a man on the rise — a hot-shot federal prosecutor on the cusp of a bright political future. But what was meant to be a one-time experience with an escort turns into a growing addiction — a new demon threatening to destroy his life, family, and career.
