For years, Wilson has travelled with a carnival of oddities across 1940s America, a serial killer hidden among the workers and attractions. Working the carnival's photo booth, Wilson possesses a camera with the hidden ability to capture the secret dreams and desires of its subjects on film. However, in doing so, the camera carves a pathway into the person's mind that Wilson can traverse in their dreams.

Transforming into a beast of incredible strength, cruelty, and insatiable hunger; Wilson hunts, rends, and devours his victims in their dreams, leaving their corporeal bodies little more than empty husks. He is the perfect serial killer. Undetectable. Untraceable.

However, Wilson is losing control. He is killing more often and closer to home, incurring the ire of the carnival's proprietor and arousing the suspicions of the local police department. Despite endeavoring to curb his murderous desires, Wilson encounters Dahlia, a woman so flawless the camera only sees her as she is. Wilson becomes consumed with the thought of preying upon the woman, and defiling this living vision of perfection.

The desire to kill Dahlia draws Wilson into a web of deception and terror that even the most vicious serial killer cannot escape.

There is always a more skilled hunter.
There is always a more lethal killer.
There is always a more terrifying monster.
