Synopsis/Details
In the shadow of a 15-year self-imposed isolation stemming from a childhood abduction, Adrian's life takes a seismic turn. The arrival of Raziela, an intriguing new neighbor he's been secretly watching, coincides with his brother Barton's relentless efforts to draw him outside. Yet, as Adrian is pushed to confront his fears, a torrent of bizarre occurrences and nightmarish visions relentlessly chip away at his stability, plunging him back into the trauma of his past. As tension mounts, Barton vanishes, trust erodes, and Adrian becomes entangled in vividly gruesome trials that straddle the line between reality and illusion. These brutal ordeals, though seemingly ephemeral, inflict lasting agony. With his grip on reality slipping, Adrian confronts an agonizing dilemma that forces him onto a chilling path. Amid his shattered certainties, a jolting revelation unravels the torment's true nature, culminating in a breathtaking twist that defies all expectations.
