Plots(1)
"Obsession: Dark Desires" offers intimate access to the emotional scars of those who have suffered as victims of extreme obsession. Brought to life through visceral drama and frank victim testimony, "Obsession" provides an icy window into the mechanics of the obsessive mind and the devastating impact of delusional fantasy.
Introverted colleagues, reclusive neighbours and awkward strangers; obsessional minds live on the edge of reality. Unprovoked and uncontrollable, they watch with devotion and wait expectantly in the shadows. When boundaries are crossed, the lives of victim and abuser become tragically interlaced as compulsion overrides reason.
Packed with 'don't go into the cellar' moments, red herrings and near misses; classic psychological thriller is injected with a menacing shot of reality as we discover how real lives can be shattered without provocation.
With their safety and sanity at risk, victims fight to protect themselves and their families from an irrepressible curse.
