A rescued boy faces hidden cruelty from his biological family while a fairness system destroys them.
After fifteen years in a dog cage, Valentino returns to the Costello family weighing fifty pounds and covered in bite marks. Brett, the son raised in his place, greets him with a knife and their mother's immediate embrace. For three years Valentino sleeps in a closet, eats scraps, and walks ten kilometers to school while Brett enjoys suites, a private chef, and a Rolls-Royce. When the government launches a Fairness System, the Costellos register eagerly, believing it will protect Brett. Three days later the system activates and the family begins to fall apart one by one.
