A dark, melancholic cautionary tale about a vulnerable young man drawn into occult-obsessed youth culture, blending gothic atmosphere with the paranoia of entrapment.

A young man moves to a new town after experiencing a tragedy and becomes involved with a gang of Satan-worshipping teens who believe they have supernatural powers. But by the time he realises he’s in too deep, it may be too late to escape.
