Mid-life crisis leads to lies, monsters, and murder.

Trapped in the monotony of his life, Arnold, a seemingly unremarkable personal trainer, seeks excitement in a forbidden affair. But his quest for thrill shatters when a sinister woman targets him with a haunted children's book, thrusting his night into a realm of unimaginable horror. The book's eerie pages spring to life, unleashing a nightmarish bear that stalks him relentlessly. With every moment teetering between survival and doom, Arnold faces a harrowing choice: confront the monstrous bear and his own lies, or watch as the shadows of his life swallow everything he holds dear.

Can he survive the night's descent into terror, or will his secrets be his undoing?
