Forsaken Mercy

A man walks out of the sunset into a forsaken coastal town, his name is Daniel and he is searching for his missing wife, Evelyn. On his quest, he comes face to face with cruelty, decay and unfathomable evil, with each harrowing encounter bringing him a step closer to a truth he may not be ready to reckon with.
In this place deprived of any semblance of mercy or hope, the strength of Daniel's will shall be tested to extreme lengths. As he ventures further into the heart of darkness, he is forced to endure horrors that threaten to break both his body and spirit, holding onto the belief that beyond the suffering, he will uncover the truth he seeks.
