What happens when fatherhood is forced—and freedom is revoked?

Sam Maxwell is finally finding his stride. With graduation around the corner and his toxic relationship in the past, he’s ready for what’s next. But Wisconsin’s new pro-birth laws have other plans.

Declared the biological father of an embryo that’s now a ward of the state, Sam loses his scholarship, his independence, and his future. He's forced into a system that treats potential life as more valuable than his own—and where even the hint of resistance comes with consequences.

His every move is watched. His choices are gone.
But Sam isn’t done fighting.

This is more than a legal technicality. It’s a new reality.
