This production delves deep into the depths of the human psyche, exploring the moral decay and psychological unraveling in a world stripped of civilization where desperation reigns, and the line between good and evil becomes blurred.

The desire for “more” becomes a driving force, as characters navigate the treacherous landscape of ambition and temptation. As the story unfolds, the audience is transported into a world where morality is a luxury, and every decision holds life-alerting consequences.
