When digital artist J's viral scorpion illustration crawls off his screen into his real life, his skyrocketing fame turns into a venomous nightmare he must destroy or be devoured by.
Synopsis
J, an ambitious digital artist, hits 900k Instagram followers and throws a lavish celebration for his breakout piece The Scorpion’s Maw—a hypnotic, venom-dripping creature that has become his signature. Overnight the image begins manifesting: first as subtle glitches on every screen, then as physical stings and shadows in his apartment, warping his gratitude into terror as the maw grows larger and hungrier with each new like and share. Friends and followers start vanishing or turning hostile, their faces overlaid with the scorpion’s patterns. J’s paranoia isolates him as he realizes the artwork feeds on attention, demanding escalating sacrifices to stay contained. Racing against a live stream that threatens to unleash it worldwide, he must choose whether to delete his account and starve the creature or surrender his soul to its growing power. In the climax J confronts the maw in a hallucinatory final post, burning his phone and identity in a bid for freedom, only to discover the scorpion may have already jumped to his audience.
