A Film by Dustin Hawkins


Draven Hawk is a young man that struggles with several mental handicaps including suicide and as badly as he wants to he is afraid to end it. By chance though he meets a demon by the name of Forneus, that is willing to give him an easy way out in exchange for a good 7 days of getting what he wants out of life. But when Draven discovers how much better life really can be with his handicaps lifted will he still want to end it?
