What Lies Within

Hector's renowned father, a celebrated sculptor, dies just before unveiling his magnum opus—Minor: David. While reviewing his late father's estate, Hector stumbles upon a mysterious villa—inside, he finds a young man named Enoch...someone he's never seen nor even heard of. The moment Hector lays eyes on him, he realizes that Enoch was the very muse for his father's masterpiece. Driven to madness, Enoch must escape his grasp through a mad game of hide and seek, or face the beast that lies within the nature of man.
