Adrian has spent thirty years building walls. Between his dead-end data entry job, his nonexistent love life, and the secret cache of lingerie hidden in his closet, he has perfected the art of wanting without acting. Every night, he watches sissy hypnosis videos and chastity captions, only to wake up and delete his browser history with a fresh wave of self-loathing.
