A socially awkward genius obsessed with unlocking the limits of science and reality stumbles upon a mysterious puzzle device that promises access to another dimension. What begins as curiosity quickly spirals into obsession as he unlocks a gateway to a realm governed by pain, control, and something far beyond human understanding.
As his transformation accelerates, those closest to him begin to realize he is no longer seeking knowledge, but something far darker, and whatever he has opened is now reaching back.
