Something is controlling her—but it isn’t what she thinks...

Leslie Adams is losing time. Waking up with scars she can’t explain and haunted by blackout spells she doesn’t remember, Leslie is diagnosed with depression and self-harm. But deep down, she knows the truth is far more sinister.

As her mental state unravels, disturbing visions and erratic behaviors consume her, convincing her that something evil has taken root inside her. Her struggle to maintain control pits her against a dark force she can't understand—until a terrifying revelation shatters everything she believes.

The enemy isn't lurking inside her.

It is her.

Seth Verman, the man once infamously convicted of a brutal double murder sixteen years ago, has returned to the world outside prison walls.

His conviction, now overturned, was seen as a landmark victory for those who believe in second chances and the fallibility of the justice system. But not everyone is eager to embrace the narrative of Seth as the wronged man seeking redemption.

Aden Weaver, a once-successful writer now grappling with the twilight of his career, Aden has found a singular focus in Seth’s release. While Seth carefully reconstructs a new life, offering kind gestures to neighbors and building a fresh routine, Aden cannot shake the memories of the original case—the grotesque crime scene photos, the compelling evidence that had once pointed squarely at Seth, and the sense of unease that has never quite left him.

For Aden, Seth’s every move is a puzzle piece, each polite smile and seemingly innocuous gesture hiding a sinister undercurrent. Despite the mounting pressure from friends and family to let the past go, Aden finds himself pulled deeper into the mystery, questioning whether his instincts are driven by the pursuit of truth or a desperate need to find meaning in his fading life.

Personal Demons is a psychological chess game between two men—one trying to reclaim a shattered life and the other desperately clinging to a belief that evil still lurks just beneath the surface.
