Morgan is a 30-year-old graduate student at John Joy College of Criminal Justice. She loves her dogs and is passionate about animals. She even fosters a couple of pit bulls. She has been dating a man online named Bennett who has moved in with her and who mistreats her, though they have been engaged to be married. One day, she arrives home to discover that her dogs have killed him and eaten him, leaving body parts scattered around the apartment. She calls the police, and the police kill one dog and carry the others away in crates.
Since she and Bennett were fiances, she decides to reach out to his family in Quebec, only to learn that he lied about his identity completely. Not only did he not play bass for Radiohead, he wasn't French Canadian in the first place, and furthermore Bennett wasn't even his real name. She realizes that his behavior was sociopathic. She finally decides to use her criminal justice instruction to analyze her own dating history and realizes in a moment of clarity that she tends to date extremely unhealthy, sociopathic/psychopathic men.
In the aftermath, she discusses these things with her therapist and with people at her school. She decides to put her experiences into her thesis, since the thesis is about victim psychology. Through her scholarship, she begins to identify patterns in her psychology that left her as a viable option for predatory men. She analyzes predatory behavior and the psychology of abuse and emotional domination.
