For decades, the housing projects of Chicago’s Cabrini-Green neighborhood were terrorized by a ghost story about a supernatural killer with a hook for a hand, summoned by those daring to repeat his name five times into a mirror. In present day, a decade after the last of the Cabrini towers were torn down, artist Anthony McCoy moves into a luxury loft condo in Cabrini, now gentrified beyond recognition. Anxious to maintain his status in the art world, Anthony begins to explore these macabre details in his studio as fresh grist for paintings, unknowingly opening a door to a complex past that unravels his own sanity and unleashes a terrifying wave of violence that puts him on a collision course with destiny.
