Synopsis

Z is trapped, locked away - he doesn't know where reality lies anymore. Inside his head his memories are being destroyed until there is nothing. The darkness has invaded and is about to take control. In desperation, Z conjures two ruthless killers from his subconscious. He lets them loose inside his head to find and destroy the mindmen stealing his memories, destroy the darkness before it destroys him - controls him.





The killers succeed to their detriment - to destroy this evil they have committed acts of evil - they have become the darkness. With their loss of control they turn their guns on Z himself. It's then Z realises he has to become them - he has to lose control to find and confront the darkness. This is his story . . . his fight for sanity, for sunlight, for his very survival.





With an enigmatic storyline, atmospheric photography and special effects, Z is a powerful study of madness and the darkness that lurks within us all.
