Everyone believed Piper came from a good family, but some monsters wear familiar faces.

For Piper, survival meant silence. It meant learning how to read the shifting moods of a father who could transform from loving protector to something unrecognizable — something she named Fenrir. A wolf hiding inside her father. A darkness responsible for violence, manipulation, and horrors no child should ever endure.

Years later, while struggling with PTSD, intrusive thoughts, and the pressure of motherhood, Piper begins therapy expecting to fix the parts of herself she thinks are broken. Instead, she descends into the darkest corners of her past, where forgotten truths wait beneath years of denial, fear, and repression.

As memory and reality collide, Piper is forced to confront the truth about her childhood, the girls who disappeared, and the unbearable guilt she has carried for decades. But uncovering the past comes at a cost. Every revelation threatens to shatter the life she built, the mother she struggles to be, and the fragile sense of safety she has fought desperately to maintain.

Unflinching, raw, haunting, and deeply emotional, Unbound is a devastating and unforgettable psychological drama about trauma, survival, and breaking the cycle before it consumes another generation, and the terrifying journey of reclaiming your voice after a lifetime of silence.
