Perseveration

A young boy named Joshua embarks on a harrowing journey of survival after being born into an insular religious cult. His life takes a dark turn as he is confined to a cage, deprived of food, and subjected to beatings. Throughout his captivity, he witnesses a murder within the church where he is held. Raised with a distorted version of religion, Joshua’s mental state deteriorates, transforming him into a monstrous figure. He begins to act on his vile and violent impulses against those deemed “non-believers,” as he was raised in the secluded, abandoned town of Hancock, New York, where the inbred cult resided. With his face hidden from society for years, Joshua becomes a tormented soul with warped beliefs, wandering the streets in search of the next “sinner” to encounter. So, we pose the question: What would you do if your faith was desecrated?
