Summary: To be a Docile is to be kept, body and soul, for the uses of the owner of your contract. To be a Docile is to forget, to disappear, to hide inside your body from the horrors of your service. To be a Docile is to sell yourself to pay your parents' debts and buy your children's future. Elisha Wilder's family has been ruined by debt handed down to them from previous generations. His mother never recovered from the Dociline she took during her term as a Docile, so when Elisha decides to erase the family's deb himself, he swears he will never take the drug that took his mother from him. Too bad his contract has been purchased by Alexander Bishop III, whose ultrarich family is the brains (and money) behind Dociline and the entire Office of Debt resolution. When Elisha refuses the drug, Alex refuses to believe that his family's crowning achievement could have any negative side effects - and is determined to turn Elisha into the perfect Docile without it.
