Alexander Hudson has been a slave and a Master. He's seen the worst and best of both worlds. As a Master, he knows almost everything about his slave Ryan. Ryan insists that he's all right but Master Alexander knows something is wrong. His slave isn't sleeping well, he's having nightmares and he's following commands that were given to him long ago. Alexander has the ability to help him erase the damage done to him in the past but it comes with a price and Alex isn't sure that he's ready to pay it. When things go awry in the dungeon, Alex has no choice but to see Ryan through this.

Officer Rick Sloan’s picture was on the front page of the newspaper with the members from a gay BDSM club and the mayor is upset. What they don’t know is that Sloan is a highly respected Dom and a member at Matty’s Playroom. Rick fights back by looking for even more visibility while his young new slave is sent off for a grooming session with a trans woman named Felipa. Rick presents Brandon as his new slave and gives him the Collar of Protection but when Brandon is strapped down in Rick’s personal dungeon, he discovers there are things about being a slave that no one told him about.

After Ryan agrees to enter into a relationship with Alexander he faces a surprising reaction from his Master. Ryan isn't the only one surprised. Alexander never expected to feel this way about anyone.

After Ryan's car accident, Alexander takes care of him. He wants someone to investigate the accident and the local police refuse because Alexander is a gay BDSM club owner, not the most upstanding citizen in town. He hires Master Rick Sloan, a former cop, who brings his slave Brandon to Hudson Manor. As Ryan recovers, he's determined to win the playoffs and the championship but he wants Alexander to start winning again too...and living. He decides to bring Hudson Manor back to life but there are people out there who don't want that to happen.

Master Alexander and Sloan continue to look for whoever is trying to kill Ryan. In the meantime, Slave Ryan discovers a few things about his Master's past.

Alexander and Ryan escape to Hudson's Haven, hoping to leave their problems and the people who want them dead stateside. Ryan loves the island and being submissive to his Master but Alexander discovers a secret about his slave that could rip them apart. When the horrors of their pasts collide all they can hope to do is survive it and live to play another day. But they'll never get back the video that goes viral.

When Ryan is hijacked and stolen away from Alexander, the Master realizes he’s neglected some important training with his slave and it leads to disaster. Alexander can’t wait any longer for Ryan to become more submissive and he puts his slave in training with Raunchy.

Brandon's training becomes more intense. All he's ever wanted was to be Sloan's personal pleasure slave and he'll do whatever he has to do. No one has ever made it that far with Sloan, no one's ever gotten a Full Collar from him. Brandon is determined to be the first slave bonded to Sloan for life.

After the slave auction, Brandon goes home with Jeremiah and they begin to get to know each other. Brandon realizes that many of Sloan’s ideas about training and owning a slave were incorrect which leads him to make a few decisions about his life. During a surprise visit, Master Alexander Hudson arrives with Ryan. There are more than a few surprising reveals as a winter snow storm in Montana traps all four men together in Jeremiah’s cabin.

Tragedy strikes the gay BDSM Club Calais and someone close to Spenser Carlyle is to blame. The event sends him reeling back through his past days as a House Boy and he doesn’t want his submissive lover Lucas to witness any of it. But Lucas sees it all. Someone wants to take Lucas from Spenser and won’t take no for an answer. Lucas arrives at his initiation to become Spenser’s slave. Spenser is enraged and Lucas goes against protocol. The initiation takes a surprising turn of events and all of the Masters are discussing Lucas’ actions.
