The studio lights die, leaving Elias in the stark silence of his dressing room. He dismisses his PR girlfriend with cold indifference, suffocated by the gilded cage of fame. Seeking anonymity, he slips into the city’s underbelly, only to be snatched from the shadows. Weeks bleed into months in the damp basement.

The world he knew is gone; here, in the quiet dark, he finally feels safe.
