Jamie Morgan is a troubled young man with a facial birthmark, which has left him isolated and fearful, hiding from the world outside. He lives in the East End, notorious for its violent hooded gangs. According to news reports, the gangs are now wearing demon masks. But, one night, after the murder of his mother, Jamie discovers the terrifying truth.

VIBE

A grim, unsettling descent into urban paranoia. This film feels like a chilling folk tale born from the concrete jungle, where the mundane terrifies as much as the supernatural. It's a raw, unsettling experience.
