  Summary

  Contortion is a story about parasite girls, depression, and past wrongs. How our relationships can help us conquer our demons... or drag us deeper into the abyss.

  Lucas is a man haunted by his past, and his many failures. In his attempts to evade his trauma, he stumbles across a mysterious woman.

  This is the story of his second chance.
