Synopsis/Details
Colin Decker was once a well known actor who was most famous for his television role from over twenty years ago as the vigilante superhero THE KNIGHTEYE in the hit television series of the same name. His association with the role took over his life, where the Knighteye is more renowned than Colin Decker, the actor. Now past his prime, Colin is failing to keep up with his bills and is trying everything he can to land work in the industry, only to be typecast. As he struggles to make ends meet and finds himself slowly fading from the world, Colin comes to know about a set of violent attacks that are similar to his long forgotten arch nemesis. Unjustly accused and with lives at stake, Colin must confront dark forces to find the imposing villain while being taunted by his tarnished superhero image.
