Horror
A high school senior named Isaac [Veliu] lives under the weight of terrifying encounters with the dead. The disturbing visions isolate him from his family and mark him as a pariah among his classmates. Only his friend Katharine [Graves], who is deeply fascinated by the supernatural, fights to pull him back from the edge. But when a mysterious new arrival [Thornton] arrives at school, he urges Isaac to surrender to the demon [Oberst] clawing its way into his soul. As the dark force feasts on the lingering spirits that haunt him, Isaac begins to lose himself to the hunger. Standing between him and total annihilation, Katharine alone must resist the growing evil—and the unstoppable bloodlust that now lives inside him.
