A boy is psychologically abused by his mom and sisters until the point of breaking. What he didn't know is that his mom and sisters were slaves to their dead father, so the way they treated him was deliberate. They needed a new master, so they wanted him to react, to stand by himself, to see if he had what it takes to become a master. It works too well, the boy becomes a master, but the first thing the new master does is to sell his mom and sisters and get new slaves.
