On a desolate island shrouded in mist, the imposing St. Trinity's Sanatorium stands as a fortress of despair. When sixteen-year-old Claire is sent there by her family, she believes it is a last-ditch effort to cure her crippling anxiety and episodes of detachment. But soon, she discovers that the sanatorium harbors dark secrets far more terrifying than her own inner demons.

Within the labyrinthine halls of the sanatorium, Claire encounters patients whose eyes are hollow and haunted, whispers that speak of horrors in the night, and a staff whose practiced smiles conceal sinister intentions. As days turn into months, Claire's unease deepens, and the line between reality and nightmare blurs.

Haunted by vivid, blood-soaked dreams and an insatiable hunger, Claire begins to realize that the sanatorium's treatments are more than just unconventional-they are deadly. The other patients are not merely ill; they are transforming into something inhuman, driven by a thirst for flesh and blood. As the darkness within the sanatorium seeps into her very soul, Claire must confront the horrifying truth: the disease that ravages the island isn't just physical, but a curse that consumes both body and mind.

Hunger Within is a chilling tale of survival and madness, where the boundaries of humanity are tested and broken. As Claire fights to retain her sanity and humanity, she must navigate the treacherous corridors of the sanatorium, uncover the truth behind the horrifying transformation, and find a way to escape the island before she, too, succumbs to the hunger within.
