Short description

Astrophysicist Gabriel Diaz meets a beautiful young woman who invites him to her cottage in the woods by the Black Sea. But nothing can disguise the horror of her nature. In a place where death dwells and illusion and reality seem as one, Gabriel must come to terms with his demons to save his sister’s unborn child...and his own soul.

At a trendy Turkish tavern one Friday night, astrophysicist Gabriel Diaz meets a mysterious young woman.
