Plot
Elise is changing. Something is stirring beneath her skin, aching, shifting, growing. She can’t explain it. No one can. Except, perhaps, Viktor, a stranger who watches from the shadows, offering guidance without answers. As her body and mind unravel, Elise is forced to choose: fight the transformation or surrender to it.
