Can a one night stand change your life?
What if it changes your DNA?
Turns you into something that shouldn't exist.
Nat wants Vike.
Someone he shouldn't.
He thinks he'll fill the void.
Put meat on the empty routine.
Instead, he peels back the edge of the world.
What's there is a revelation.
Good or bad? That's a personal perspective.
Like finding a polaroid of God, Nat's world changes forever.
He's now a monster.
Not in a tabloid way.
We're talking razor teeth.
We're talking hands made of knives.
They say strength of character is defined by how you cope.
Nat struggles. Not just with his new appetite for death or his growing circle of horrific friends.
He can't work, can't risk killing the daytime public.
He endures endless afternoons of sterile TV, waiting for dark.
The hunger. The disruption of his body.
Then there are the others. Finding he's not the only thing crawling around out there.
Door men becoming Scorpions.
Boys into Spiders. The little girl with the violent shadow.
And then there's discovering exactly what he is.
