Spirited away to the Yew Institute insane asylum, Bailey tries to persuade anyone who will listen that she’s not crazy. This is hard to do when you’re kept isolated in a padded room, constantly gagged and in a straitjacket. It’s not that anyone believes her, they just don’t care. The Yew Institute is not really a hospital at all but a facility for the training and selling of slaves. Bailey doesn’t understand how she got there, unless she was targeted. If that is so, by who? More importantly, why? Francesca, Bailey’s daily care giver, and Livia, her trainer, are the only two people with whom she’s allowed to interact, and neither of them is talking. Francesca is using the Yew Institute as a hideout from her own past, while Livia is determined to use Bailey’s growing reputation for submission as her ticket right to the top in Yew Institute’s hierarchy. Bailey’s quest for answers, coupled with her long secret desire for submission, and a daring escape attempt will lead her down dark paths of self-confrontation and vengeance.
