Richard Morgan, 53 is a stockbroker, suburban family man and secret findom addict. On the morning of his son’s graduation party, he discovers his dominatrix has cleaned out ALL of his bank accounts, including the money for the graduation present – a new car.

Now over the course of one Saturday, he must try and recover $76,000 without his wife discovering his secret life. But as all of closest relationships go down in flames, he slowly has to confront the toxic manhood that has led him down this path.
