Some people thought Marcus was a monster.
Elliot believed he saw a traumatized boy hiding in the shadows...

Marcus Webb, whose story once splashed across headlines, now lives forgotten behind prison walls, serving a life sentence.
Elliot, a journalist harboring his own shadows, reaches out to uncover the real truth behind Marcus's crimes. He wants to understand. He wants answers. Ultimately, is he reaching for something he cannot define?
Through letters and phone calls, the line between reporter and prisoner begins to blur. With every word shared, Elliot is drawn deeper into Marcus's world, a trove of hidden secrets, childhood ghosts, and a darkness that neither man can escape.
Not all towers are built of stone, but guilt and longing, too.
Some ropes are formed from hemp, whilst strands of words can also weave strong bonds.
In a world of locked doors and blurred reflections, does reaching into the darkness offer salvation or destruction?
