Miserable and prideful Riki can't stand to have his freedom compromised but knows he lacks the power to keep others safe from the Blondie's wrath. Blondies use Mongrels to entertain their voyeuristic and sadistic sides but Iason seems more familiar with his pet than is considered normal. One such Mongrel named Riki is forced to become a pet for a Blondie named Iason. In a society with a strong caste system dependent on hair color, Blondies with their fair hair are the elite of society, and Mongrels with their dark or black hair are barely considered human.
