Imagine being trapped in a world of addiction, obsession, and desperation-where death seems like the only possible escape. Boj Lazuri, a disgruntled finance manager, feels he has no purpose and struggles to cope with his alcoholism, sexual deviance, and gambling. When a grade school friend-recently released from prison-calls him and introduces him to hard drugs, Boj's downward spiral accelerates.
As COVID shuts down the world and the opioid crisis sweeps the nation, Boj's life unravels in a descent into darkness, with a murderous drug dealer, Sebastian Silver, leading his every step. The stakes escalate, and the line between reality and madness begins to blur.
Their relationship quickly turns toxic as Sebastian physically, mentally, and emotionally abuses Boj. The grip of addiction overpowers Boj's every thought of escaping, as he loses touch with his sanity, family, friends, and girlfriend, Christina Steward.
In a world of shadows, secrets, and self-destruction-will Boj find a way out, or will the darkness consume him whole?
