What Brandon received was not an invitation to a private soirée but rather a blackmail message from a woman named Emerald Dixon. She had compromising videos and images of him engaging in sexual acts with black men. Emerald threatened to expose him if he didn't attend her soirée. Brandon, feeling trapped, decided to go to protect his wife and family. He lied to his wife, Ashley, about his plans for the evening, claiming he had a work event. Ashley, unaware of Brandon's secret life, wished him luck and left with their little ones to visit her parents. Brandon put on the tuxedo provided and waited for the car to pick him up. The driver handed him a mask to wear, emphasizing the secrecy of the event. They arrived at Emerald Dixon's lavish mansion. The property was extravagant, with golden walls, a moat with black swans, and beautifully arranged gardens. Inside, Brandon felt out of place as the only guest without a mask. He explored the grand halls and encountered curious stares from the other guests. Emerald Dixon welcomed everyone to the "Pig and Play" party, and the crowd cheered for her. Brandon made his way towards the main stage, curious about what would unfold next.
