Good Boy
Nineteen-year-old hooligan Tommy is violently kidnapped by the well-to-do suburban family of Chris and Kathryn. Waking up chained in their basement, Tommy realizes the family intends to subject him to forced "rehabilitation" to turn him into a "good boy." He vehemently rejects this coercive process and seeks to escape the dysfunctional family unit. As time passes, Tommy begins to find common ground with his tormentors, but he soon understands that achieving independence will demand a significant and costly sacrifice.
