"I don’t know why you insisted on sleeping together like kids. We were eighteen, for god’s sake…" "I just got lonely sleeping without you." Ruweena and Zoe were best friends - well, sort of.

Then, six years ago, Ruweena disappeared and left Zoe all alone. Zoe likes it better this way. Doesn't she? So why is it that she still keeps the single bed they used to sleep in - why is it that she lets Ruweena kiss her the moment Ruweena reappears? And why does it feel as if there's something terribly, awfully wrong with the bed they used to call theirs?

Synopsis

Vasilly has become painfully jealous of his best friend, Luke. They both interviewed for the same career-making graphic design role, but Luke got the offer whilst Vasilly returned to his dead-end labouring job, drained of hope and creativity. However, things aren’t going so well for Luke. Every time he shares good news about his new role he suffers strange and violent repercussions. Disturbed by the uncanny timing, Vasilly recalls his Yiayia’s warnings about the Greek superstition of the evil eye - a 5,000-year-old belief that jealousy can manifest harm through a malevolent glare - and starts to believe his own envy might be to blame for Luke’s bad luck. As events escalate, Vasilly spirals into paranoia and guilt, confronting the possibility that the true danger lies not in superstition, but in himself. A darkly comic psychological thriller about male jealousy, inherited superstition, and the corrosive power of repressed ambition.
