What if the body you always dreamed of came with a cost you couldn’t imagine? Adam Stenson’s quest for muscle turns into a deadly spiral of obsession, rage, and self-destruction. Power. Obsession. Betrayal. Adam has spent his whole life feeling small — physically, emotionally, mentally. When his fiancée’s affection starts to fade and his confidence crumbles under the weight of self-doubt, he turns to the one thing that promises power: steroids. What begins as a simple plan to bulk up becomes a full-blown addiction. The gym becomes his temple, the mirror his judge.
