Wounds

Will, a bartender in New Orleans, faces a chaotic night while working at a deteriorating bar. A violent altercation erupts when a drunken patron named Eric is stabbed in the cheek with a broken bottle, prompting panic among the other patrons.

After the chaos, Will finds an abandoned phone left behind by fleeing college students. Tapping into the phone's messages, he encounters unsettling texts from a user named Garrett, who expresses fear of being pursued by something dark from a tunnel.

The following morning, Will receives a chilling photo from Garrett, showing a pile of bloody teeth. This alarming image prompts Will's girlfriend, Carrie, to suggest contacting the police immediately.

Will visits Eric, who is suffering from an infected wound and is haunted by nightmares. As Will tends to Eric, he witnesses something otherworldly beginning to emerge from the infected area, raising concerns about the nature of Eric's condition.

As the tension heightens, Will begins to sense an unsettling presence stalking the college students. While investigating the abandoned phone further, he uncovers disturbing images of a corpse and a decapitated head amidst cockroach swarms.

Despite Carrie's insistence on reporting their findings to authorities, Will and Carrie discover a book titled 'The Translation of Wounds' that connects to the sinister events surrounding them. Their dread amplifies as they realize they are entangled in something dark.

While heading to the police station, Will senses he's still being followed and begins receiving eerie messages that label him as 'chosen.' Overwhelmed by paranoia, he hallucinates the phone transforming into a creature, leading him to discard it in distress.

Returning home, Will finds Carrie in a bewildered state, entranced by a disturbing video depicting a tunnel. Struggling to comprehend her behavior, he grows alarmed when Carrie cannot recall sending him bizarre messages.

As the night creeps in, Will encounters Garrett, who reveals dark secrets about possession rituals. He warns Will that he has inadvertently invited malevolent forces into his life, leading to horrifying hallucinations of cockroaches crawling from his own wound.

The strain in Will and Carrie's relationship deepens, exacerbated by her growing obsession with Garrett. She becomes increasingly involved in researching arcane texts suggesting that William's injuries are gateways for sinister entities.

At work, Will experiences a mounting aggression that culminates in a violent outburst, leading him to quit his job. Alone and isolated, he struggles with the unraveling connections in his life, pushing away those who care for him.

Seeking comfort at Eric's increasingly disturbing home, Will uncovers the chilling truth: Eric was manipulated by college students in a sinister scheme to draw Will into a horrifying trap. This revelation raises the stakes of his struggle for survival.

As Eric's condition deteriorates, the presence of an otherworldly being becomes more pronounced through Eric's wound. Will begins to understand the grave nature of the threat looming over all of them, realizing they must act quickly.

After another frantic call to Garrett, Will witnesses a terrifying onslaught of cockroaches invading the room. This monstrous event cements his awareness of the eldritch force he now faces, forcing him to confront the darkness around him.

In a moment of desperate clarity, Will decides to surrender to the malevolent entity, aiming to absorb its essence as darkness envelops the house. His journey culminates in a chilling acceptance of fate, as he confronts the nightmare that now defines his existence.
