Imagine it is 1917 and you’re helping the war effort as a dial painter, painting numbers that glow-in-the-dark on watches for soldiers. It’s a detailed job; painting tiny numbers is difficult, unless you’ve learned the trick of lip-pointing - using your lips to create the perfect paint brush tip. Now, jump to present day. While thrift store shopping you purchase antique paintings that reveal hidden glowing scenes when in the dark. Gruesome glowing scenes. Who painted these scenes and why? You become obsessed to find the answers. Yet, searching for the answers may unknowingly kill you and everyone you come into contact with in the process.
