Caleb Walker’s quiet life in Portland is abruptly traded for a surreal struggle for survival when he is abducted and transported to a distant world. After enduring life as a specimen in a high-tech facility, a sudden turn of events leads to his "rescue" by a species of giant, hamster-like humanoids. However, Caleb soon discovers that his new life is not a return to freedom, but a descent into domesticity as the family’s newest pet. Collared and pampered in a world that is as beautiful as it is dangerous, he is forced to navigate the ultimate identity crisis: how to remain a man when the universe treats you like a dog.
