This guy manipulates this love starved bimbo and plays some serious head games with her. All poor Chelsie Rae wants is for this guy to want her, and to fuck her... but he wont. He would much rather make her beg for his dick, and in the process he decided to capitalize on her need for his attention and make her into his personal fuck toy. This twisted (but creative) dude puts Chelsie through all sorts of degrading sexual escapades... tune in to find out just how depraved it gets!

After being brutally assaulted and left for dead, he is rebuilt by a mysterious, eccentric scientist, Dr. Tarant, using animal organs. Marvin soon discovers he has gained enhanced senses and abilities, but also uncontrollable animalistic urges.
