The Big Dog

Synopsis

RICHARD MORGAN, 53, is a pillar of society; firm patriarch of his family. He knows what’s best for wife KELLY, 40 and son SAM, 18. He plays protector and provider.

He is also a slave in a secret extramarital findom affair. This pay pig loves his master, PRINCESS PAIGE, 21, setting him degrading humiliation tasks (like voluntary blackmail), controlling all his finances and spending his hard earned money.

Intimacy, power and finance collide unhealthily in this highwire balancing act and it’s about to get much worse.

On the day of his son’s surprise graduation dinner, he realises he has let Paige drain an account holding the money for the graduation gift – a new car. Now Richard must pull together $73,000 dollars without his family catching wise.

And when Kelly begins to suspect that Richard might have a gambling addiction, she explosively confronts him. What comes out is a blistering appraisal of their marriage and the uncovering of long-buried grievances. But when Sam arrives home, they have to cut the argument short. Kelly is utterly devastated but holds face in front of her son. She knows something's wrong but Richard’s lies have obscured the extent and nature of it. For now...

Over the course of one Saturday, Richard must try and covertly thrash it out with Kelly, find money for the car and organise the dinner, all the while keeping his mistress happy so as not to have her disseminate the blackmail video to his professional network.

But as every one of Richard’s relationships crashes in flames, he becomes more aware of the corrupted manhood at the heart of being. Will he transcend and grow or is his insistence to cling to old ways going to destroy his entire life?
