Love isn’t always chosen. Sometimes… you’re invited. He thought he found love—he was really chosen for sacrifice. An ambitious but lonely computer programmer finally meets the girl of his dreams. But when passion turns into obsession, he uncovers the horrifying truth: her love is not her own—it belongs to a cult that has marked him as their next sacrifice. What begins as romance spirals into paranoia, manipulation, and terrifying visions of rituals he cannot escape. The deeper he digs, the more he realizes this isn’t just a relationship—it’s initiation.

When a low level mobster is nearly rubbed out by the boss, he decides to take the bonus he was promised by force, so he kidnaps the boss and demands a hefty ransom.
