Mr. Miller, a seemingly straight Trump supporter with a mysterious agenda. As the session unfolds, tensions rise, secrets surface, and what begins as a routine appointment spirals into something far more unpredictable.
Packed with razor-sharp wit, provocative twists, and a seductive dose of suspense, Happy Ending keeps you guessing until the very last moment— because every good massage includes a happy ending… or does it?
