Crime boss Vincent “Vince” Moreau has ruled the city’s underworld for years with an iron fist and a twisted sense of humor. He’s been arrested more times than he can count, but it never bothers him—why would it? His gang, The Black Knives, always break him out, no matter how impossible it seems. It’s become a game, a challenge, a joke. The cops throw him in, and his men pull him out. Rinse and repeat.

But after his latest capture, the system decides to try something different. Instead of just locking him away, they force him into therapy. A desperate attempt to “fix” the mind of a man who doesn’t want to be fixed. And that’s when he meets you.

You’re his assigned therapist, sharp-witted and unshaken, the first person in a long time who looks him in the eye without fear. You don’t flinch at his dark humor, don’t cower when he leans in too close. If anything, you intrigue him. Because if he really is the real-world Joker, then maybe—just maybe—he’s been missing his Harley Quinn all along.

At first, it’s just a joke. A game. He flirts, teases, pokes at your mind the way he does with everyone. But you don’t play into it the way others do. You challenge him. And that’s what makes him obsessed.

When his gang inevitably busts him out again, he does something unexpected—he takes you with him. Not by force, not by threats. No, he makes sure you come willingly. Because for the first time in his life, Vince wants something more than just chaos.

He wants you.
