FrightFest favourite Alice Maio Mackay - T-BLOCKERS, CARNAGE FOR CHRISTMAS - returns with her sixth feature. This supernatural romance follows Anna, who leaves her transphobic small-town, and develops a romance with tattoo artist Gen with whom she shares a paranormal connection. But their deep-rooted insecurities unknowingly release a demon, which possesses one of their ex-lovers, Danny, and begins feeding on their friends by sucking out their lifeforce. As the bodies pile up, the women must face their pasts to stop the growing evil in a terrifying and tender exploration of love, gender identity and personal growth.
