Their neglect and cruelty chipped away at his sanity, leaving him scarred and adrift in a world that felt relentlessly hostile. He lived on the edge, his mind a fragile landscape shaped by trauma, harboring a silent rage that threatened to consume him. The true horror, however, lay not just in their addiction but in the unspeakable secrets hidden within their home. When Mark stumbles upon evidence of his parents' involvement in a brutal human trafficking ring, the fragile facade of his life shatters completely.
