After a horrifying act of violence left him disabled, scarred and in fear for his life, Alex Michaels has spent the last seven years hiding from the world. Living in a prison-like house in Melbourne, Australia under an assumed identity, the reclusive man works from home making cupcake recipe internet videos. Using the screen name CupcakeBoy, his thriving home business has amassed a huge online following, but Alex maintains his anonymity by never showing his face in his videos. But on one of his rare trips out into the real world, he quite literally runs into a man who will shatter the protective walls Alex has spent years building around himself.
