Ryder Wilder, a young man desperate to save his ailing mother from a terminal illness, enters into a contract marriage with the enigmatic and wealthy Vivian Blackwood, who offers to cover his mother's medical expenses in exchange for his loyalty and obedience. Despite Vivian's growing fondness for Ryder, she continues to subject him to emotional and psychological abuse, belittling him in front of her staff and friends, and manipulating him to do her bidding. As Ryder becomes increasingly trapped in the toxic relationship, he finds solace in Elena, Vivian's loyal and wise elderly maid, who becomes his confidante and motivator. Elena, who has witnessed Vivian's cruel behavior firsthand, urges Ryder to find a way to escape the relationship before it's too late. Meanwhile, Vivian's daughter, Sophia, takes a liking to Ryder and begins to secretly help him. Sophia, who has always felt stifled by her mother's controlling behavior, sees Ryder as a kindred spirit and a potential ally in her own quest for freedom. Together, they hatch a plan to free Ryder from Vivian's grasp and expose her mother's cruel nature to the world. Enter Regina, a billionaire and Vivian's friend, who takes a keen interest in Ryder and offers to help him escape Vivian's clutches. Regina, who has her own reasons for wanting to take down Vivian, promises to provide Ryder with the resources and support he needs to start a new life - but only if he agrees to marry her instead. Ryder is torn between his desire for freedom and his growing feelings for Sophia, who represents a chance at true love and happiness. As tensions rise and alliances are tested, Ryder must navigate the treacherous web of relationships within Vivian's inner circle to find a way out of his contract and discover his true worth. But as he fights for his freedom, he begins to realize that the greatest prison of all may be his own self-doubt and fear of the unknown.
