Daubed in Darkness

The pandemic has turned New York into a ghost city. People have fled in droves, graffiti has risen from the dead, and the leftovers are forced to wait out the virus in solitude. Life is turned upside down. Atticus and Zephyr are New York City-based artists with a flair for the macabre. Atticus specializes in ghoulish, life-like sculptures; Zephyr creates spooky narratives by amassing antiques and collectables. As classic millennials, they struggle to remain creative in a world dominated by social media and short attention spans

Due to the mania induced by quarantine, both feel change on the horizon. The couple meet the enigmatic Dexter, an artist who gives them everything they never knew they needed.

From secret warehouse parties to an entire city beneath their feet, a dangerous relationship develops, thus all of their lives are altered. Much like how a virus infiltrates the cells and takes over, dark love can change a person, forevermore.
