In the midst of a nameless war, a soldier known only as George Smith is locked away for striking an officer. Army psychiatrist Philip Outerbridge sees more than a simple disciplinary case. Tasked with uncovering the truth, he asks George to write his story.
What emerges is a chilling account of abuse, violence, and an unsettling fixation on blood. Through letters, transcripts, and case notes, Dr. Outerbridge pieces together a mind both broken and dangerously cunning.
As the layers peel back, the line between trauma and pure malevolence blurs. George’s truth, once revealed, will not only shatter the doctor’s understanding but may haunt anyone who dares to read it.
Some obsessions are born in darkness. Others thrive there. Which one is George’s?
