Killian Maddox is a young bodybuilder obsessed with achieving physical perfection in a world that barely recognizes his existence. He lives trapped between the desperate need to be seen and a latent rage that silently grows beneath the surface. His body, sculpted through extreme discipline, dangerous substances, and a routine that borders on self-destructive, becomes his only means of expression in a society that marginalizes, misunderstands, and rejects him.

As he prepares for an important competition, Killian struggles to maintain an appearance of normalcy. He has a routine job, a family figure who cares for him, and a genuine desire for human connection. But his difficulty in communicating emotionally leaves him trapped in a lonely routine, filled with fantasies, idolization, and a constant drive for greatness at any cost. What begins as a quest for identity and recognition ultimately reveals an internal storm that threatens to overflow.

Exploring the boundaries between ambition and alienation, this story is a haunting portrait of a man who desperately seeks a place in the world while battling with his mental health, his body, and his capacity to love. A disturbing, intimate, and deeply human journey that questions how far one can sacrifice everything for the dream of being someone.
