Don't let the bed bugs bite. They'll infest your mind.

A dark, paranoia-soaked psychological horror that blurs the line between parasitic infection and maternal descent into addiction and self-destruction.

As a mother becomes suspicious that her daughter may be infected by a parasitic creature, she is thrust into a nightmare as the people she trusts most push her into a chasm of drug addiction, self-destruction, and devastating sacrifice.
