SUGAR

How sweet is it to escape yourself?

Far from home, a young man wanders into a world of glittering promises and irresistible temptations. At first, everything seems sweeter, brighter and more exciting. But beneath the sugary surface, something darker is waiting.

As the strange new world begins to unravel, familiar things take on an unsettling edge and the escape he was looking for becomes something else entirely. What starts as an invitation to leave himself behind turns into a journey through temptation, disorientation and the search for a way home.

In this world, sweetness has a price. And sometimes getting lost is the only way to find your way back.
