Synopsis

In this chilling psychological thriller a reclusive schizophrenic, raised in an oppressive cult, discovers that he is being framed for a series of ritualistic murders. Are must prove his innocence by rescuing their next victim and destroying the evil sect from within.
Isaac witnesses the ritualistic murder of a beautiful refugee woman at the hands of senior cult members. He escapes the house and finds evidence that the cult’s charity is a front to exploit the female refugees they claim to save. They’re being used to breed more children for the cult. And if they are not able to conceive, they become ‘sacrificial’. Isaac soon discovers that he is being framed as the murderer, and as he races to prove his innocence and save the life of a vulnerable refugee soon to be sacrificed, he begins to find out that he is not who he thought he was. As Isaac uncovers a web of systemic abuse leading to the highest levels of power, he begins to unravel the secrets of his own identity and insanity.
