What do you do when the deepest part of you doesn't feel like yours? Suffering from a profound and unshakable disconnect, a man is convinced that one of his limbs is a foreign, parasitic intruder. Medical tests show nothing wrong, but his mind screams that it must be removed.

Driven to the brink, he finds a shadowy, underground community that doesn't judge his desire—they enable it. But the "cure" they offer is a ritual far more ancient and horrifying than any surgery. As the line between body and identity is violently severed, he awakens a primal hunger within the very flesh he sought to discard. The limb he hated now has a life of its own... and it wants the rest of him.

A harrowing descent into body dysmorphia, surgical obsession, and the terrifying truth that sometimes, the monster is just a part of you that you haven't met yet.
