In 2003, a former special forces soldier journeys into the wilds of Romania. But here, in this land of myth and legend - of Bram Stoker’s Dracula - Ken Jones finds himself in a horror story of his own. After nature deals him a hammer blow, he’s left alone in the wilderness, battered and broken. Ken will have to summon every ounce of his resilience to escape…

A Noiser production, written by Paul Olding.
