Ella, a genetically engineered pet, escapes to Canada seeking freedom but finds it just as confining. Her flight sparks danger for other pets, and as she navigates the black market to rescue her love, Penn, she risks everything to expose a dark breeding program. Failure means dire consequences for all.
As soon as the government passed legislation allowing humans to be genetically engineered and sold as pets, the rich and powerful rushed to own beautiful girls like Ella. Trained from birth to be graceful, demure, and above all, perfect, these "family companions" enter their masters' homes prepared to live a life of idle luxury. Ella is happy with her new role as playmate for a congressman's bubbly young daughter, but she doesn't expect Penn, the congressman's handsome and rebellious son. He's the only person who sees beyond the perfect exterior to the girl within. Falling for him goes against every rule she knows...and the freedom she finds with him is intoxicating.
