Behind grim institutional walls, a young woman is restrained. An unseen surgeon blasts two massive electric shocks through her skull. An ice pick is hammered past her eyeball and spears her brain. It is violently twisted.

Her frontal lobes are destroyed. Free will dies, emotion is stunted. She becomes responsive only to the most basic human drive - hunger. She has become a zombie.

The rain is a waterfall from the black night sky. The Boko stamps her feet in jerky rhythms, moving like a damaged insect. Her eyes roll back into her skull, revealing milky white orbs. The moonlight catches the spray of blood as her jagged knife is raked across a young woman's throat.

The dance continues. A snake, green and handsome, slithers through the clearing - past the body of the young woman. The young woman's eyes open - pure black orbs. She waits for instruction from the boko. She has become a Zombie.

Prepare yourself for an apocalyptic vision of the violence, terror and insanity that lurks within every human mind and soul. THE DISTURBED is a tragic tale of the catastrophic consequences of reckless passion and the struggle to find meaning in a hostile world.

Prepare for THE DISTURBED.
