Ever since the tragic death of his parents, Porsche's life has been a balancing act between attending college and bartending to support his younger brother and pay off his deadbeat uncle's gambling debt. When he witnesses a gang of thugs attacking a handsome young man in the alley behind his bar, he's reluctant to intervene--until he's offered fifty thousand baht to help the stranger escape. The stranger is known as Kinn, the second son of a notorious crime family.

Pete has been missing for two weeks, and Kinn, Porsche, and the rest of the Major Clan are left to assume the worst—if Pete's mission spying on the Minor Clan has gone south, he's as good as dead. The Minor Clan never take prisoners, and their cruel oldest son Vegas is especially ruthless. Little do they know Pete is still alive, chained up at Vegas's mercy. He doesn't feel like he's been spared a worse fate, though: He'd take death over being forced to warm Vegas's bed. Or at least, that's how he feels at first.

The idea that the extraordinary narrative which has been called the Joyce-Armstrong Fragment is an elaborate practical joke evolved by some unknown person, cursed by a perverted and sinister sense of humor, has now been abandoned by all who have examined the matter. The most macabre and imaginative of plotters would hesitate before linking his morbid fancies with the unquestioned and tragic facts which reinforce the statement. Though the assertions contained in it are amazing and even monstrous, it is nonetheless forcing itself upon the general intelligence that they are true.
