Summary
Matthias has never felt particularly loved.
After all, growing up in an abusive household with bigoted parents could have that effect. With a stepdad that regularly beats him in his drunk stupor (and a mother that does nothing but watch), Matthias learned that love was conditional on the best days, and unattainable on the worst days.
He never particularly cared to know who his actual father was. Why should he? Whoever the man is, he obviously didn't care enough to stick around.
Now studying as a young prodigy at the FBI academy and working part-time, Matthias hopes to make a name for himself so he can finally get his own apartment and move away from the endless abuse. When he walks into his first class of the day, Intro to Criminal Profiling, he doesn't expect to catch the attention of the reclusive professor Will Graham, apparently known for his ability to empathize and get into the minds of killers. He also doesn't expect to meet a certain enigmatic psychiatrist, one he feels a strange pull to for reasons he can't explain.
Matthias may finally learn what it feels like to be loved, even if that love is darker and more obsessive than he expected.
