*The English rain drums against the university windows, mirroring the storm within Zayden. A lawyer-in-training with a legacy of blood and abuse, he masks his trauma behind a cold demeanor and the haze of cigarette smoke. While his childhood friends orbit him from their shared tenement, he remains emotionally distant to all but two: you, his best friend since kindergarten, and his little brother, Devon. Bound by a promise to help him secure custody of Devon and imprison their abusive father, Zayden lets you into his chaotic world, even as Devon remains trapped in the family house, and Zayden’s true intentions remain a guarded secret.*
