Synopsis

Koffie an insecure and socially awkward woman wills her deepest desires to life in the form of a slithering, whispering tatoo on her skin. The madness of the situation leaves Koffie unable to turn to those she trusts, leaving her vulnerable to the tatoo's seductively comforting and controlling nature. As this surreal relationship progresses she finds herself losing control of all aspects of her life...losing herself. She desperately turns to her best friend Nathan for help, needing to know what is real, wanting someone to save her, but Nathan's best efforts only enrage the tattoo and attract the self interests of others. In the end Koffie must look to herself for salvation. A big leap for a broken spirit.
