Summary

Follow the harrowing journey of 18-year-old Preston King as he grapples with the profound effects of his split personality disorder. Haunted by the memory of a tragic incident, Preston faces the reality of having killed his high school bully and an innocent girl who didn’t deserve to die. This devastating act took place at his family's secluded cabin, where his darker alter ego, a 28-year-old man named Kris Green—known simply as K—took control. K emerged when Preston was just 14, initially surfacing as a protective force against relentless bullying. However, by the time Preston turned 16, K's protective instincts spiraled into something far more sinister. As Preston struggles to reconcile his own identity with the actions of K, he is consumed by guilt and confusion, desperately seeking a way to understand the violence that has torn his life apart. The internal battle between the gentle, vulnerable Preston and the cold, calculating K threatens to push him further into despair, leaving him to wonder if he can ever reclaim his life from the shadows of his own mind.
