Science FictionSynopsis
Duncan Chalk, a monstrous media mogul who feeds psychically on human suffering, engineers a relationship between two damaged people: a man grotesquely altered by alien surgeons, and a young woman exploited after bearing a hundred children for a population experiment. As Chalk manipulates their pain for entertainment, the two must decide whether genuine connection is possible.
