A claustrophobic psychological horror centered on a murderer's descent into madness, driven by guilt and paranoia rather than external threat.

A man's sanity is a point of contention as he confesses to murdering an elderly man, driven by the victim's pale blue 'vulture eye', culminating in guilt-induced auditory hallucinations of the victim's beating heart.
