Baskerville-gaui Gae

"The job is simple. You just have to be a dog." When his father's company collapses into bankruptcy, Dale Jackson finds himself crushed beneath an inescapable mountain of debt. Cast adrift during the bleak desperation of the Great Depression, he wanders the unforgiving streets with no prospects and nowhere left to turn. Just as hope seems entirely lost, a deeply unusual proposition is presented to him—an offer that challenges his very sense of self but promises a way out of his ruinous circumstances. The proposal comes directly from the Baskervilles, recognized as the wealthiest family in all of New York. For a destitute man like Dale, the prospect of employment under such immense power and affluence is impossible to ignore, regardless of how strange the terms may be. Driven by sheer necessity and unable to refuse the rare chance to serve the city's most elite household, he ultimately accepts the bizarre arrangement. By agreeing to the contract, Dale steps into a world far removed from his previous life, trading his dignity for survival. Bound to the enigmatic Baskerville family, he must now navigate the peculiar demands of his new role, embracing a position where obedience is paramount and his only duty is to act exactly as instructed—as their loyal dog.
