 After escaping the pedophile who abducted and sex trafficked him for six years, Peter Wilson puts far too much faith in the pop psychology self-help book, I’m OK – You’re OK, to help him find normalcy, work a job, pay bills, and reconcile his sexuality with what had been done to him. He quickly learns the world has little tolerance for someone as wounded as Peter. When all else fails, he turns to wisecracks, his own tenacity, and a little bit of murder.
