“An intriguing, creepy little short whose direction, lead performance and musical score effectively conspire to elevate the lead character’s relatively minor flesh wound to Cronenbergian levels of squishy, squirmy body horror.”

- Jason Jenkins, Bloody Disgusting

A bloody incident, a disturbing homecoming - Nicole will stop at nothing to hold it all together..
