    • Synopsis
    • RICHARD MORGAN, 53, is a pillar of society; firm patriarch of his family. He knows what’s best for wife
      KELLY, 40 and son SAM, 18. He plays protector and provider.
      He is also a slave in a secret extramarital findom affair. This pay pig loves his master, PRINCESS PAIGE, 21,
      setting him degrading humiliation tasks (like voluntary blackmail), controlling all his finances and
      spending his hard earned money.
      Intimacy, power and finance collide unhealthily in this highwire balancing act and it’s about to get much
      worse.
      On the day of his son’s surprise graduation dinner, he realises he has let Paige drain an account holding
      the money for the graduation gift – a new car. Now Richard must pull together $73,000 dollars without
      his family catching wise.
      And when Kelly begins to suspect that Richard might have a gambling addiction, she explosively
      confronts him. What comes out is a blistering appraisal of their marriage and the uncovering of
      long-buried grievances. But when Sam arrives home, they have to cut the argument short. Kelly is utterly
      devastated but holds face in front of her son. She knows something's wrong but Richard’s lies have
      obscured the extent and nature of it. For now...
      Over the course of one Saturday, Richard must try and covertly thrash it out with Kelly, find money for
      the car and organise the dinner, all the while keeping his mistress happy so as not to have her
      disseminate the blackmail video to his professional network.
      But as every one of Richard’s relationships crashes in flames, he becomes more aware of the corrupted
      manhood at the heart of being. Will he transcend and grow or is his insistence to cling to old ways going
      to destroy his entire life?
