β¦ Synopsis
Mirrors.Mirrors always staring.He was only nine years old when he survived an unspeakable crime, a crime so horrific it left him with no memory of what happened. All he was sure of was that his mother was missing and he was forced to live with a stranger.Growing up in his new surroundings he pretends that his life is normal, but it isn't. He's different because of what happened to him, only he doesn't know why and he doesn't know how. Strange dreams haunt his sleep. Flashes of memories appear seemingly from nowhere, warning him of a monster growing inside him, offering him no answers except the inspiration to draw a picture that even he doesn't understand.Desperate for answers he begins his own search into his past, but when he discovers the tragic truth it unleashes an anger that he can't control. Thoughts of revenge and the need for justice consume him and destroy his life. Dejected and left to fend for himself on the streets of Chicago, could his desire for justice lead him to become a serial killer?
