After battling a debilitating illness, a neurotic programmer obsesses over a dark, ancient creature living in the walls of his new home that threatens his job, his relationship, and ultimately his sanity.

SYNOPSIS:

Thomas Sunday, the new solutions architect for an innovative social media platform, moves with his live-in girlfriend, Kaelyn Wexler, to an isolated house in the middle of dense forestry. However, the move, as well as Thomas's new job, are the result of Thomas and Kaelyn's decaying relationship.

Though they believe these changes will finally strengthen their relationship, they both find that their insecurities and trust issues still possess them...like a virus. Their life takes a further turn for the worse when Thomas gets a nasty bug that threatens his new position. And though it's true that he eventually heals from this illness, it has triggered something inside him...something dark...an obsession with cleanliness, perfection...and an ancient creature that lives in the walls of his house.

Life seems to take a minor turn for the better when Kaelyn discovers that she's pregnant. But soon enough Kaelyn, unable to deal with Thomas's growing instability, eventually leaves him, causing Thomas to snap completely.

The creature he's grown obsessed with now possesses him completely, infecting him with an unknown disease that distorts, morphs, and transforms his body into a grotesque, body-horror mass of boils, subcutaneous horns, and necrotic flesh.

Kaelyn, feeling sorry for the father of her unborn child, returns to Thomas to attempt some kind of reconciliation. But Thomas has other plans in mind...and their final confrontation culminates into a horrific display of insanity, mania, and violence.
