Serve your purpose. It's the code by which Elijah McMillan lives and breathes. There is no alternative. He was born to service other men, and he does so with pride.
At least until his irresistible brainiac of a counselor Silas Rutledge comes along and tells him he can't.
That it's wrong.
That he's "worth more."
As if.
Only the more Silas talks, the more Elijah starts to think that it might be true-that he's someone of value instead...
