Entranced by a captivating artist’s brushstrokes, Dorian Gray finds himself not just captured on canvas, but captivated by a life of exquisite beauty.
Yet, a chance encounter with a charismatic stranger whispers a seductive truth: true beauty lies in the thrill of experience, not the stagnancy of youth.
Torn between the love of a woman who worships his innocence and the allure of a life of uninhibited pleasure, Dorian embarks on a passionate journey where the lines between love and obsession blur.
But as his desires spiral, a haunting reflection reveals a darkness he can’t escape.
