Before the restaurant lights dimmed for good, before the headlines screamed tragedy, there was joy. Once a man behind the mask, a performer chasing purpose in a promising and prospering dream with his best friend, he now rots in the shadow of his own creation. When the line between the stage and the mind begins to blur, the Actor's descent into madness becomes a slow, grinding performance of guilt, obsession, and rage. Every flicker of light, every echo of applause, is a reminder that some masks don't come off... they grow in.
