There, a broken promise made to her returns to haunt him with growing intensity. Ollie’s guilt merges with his scientific brilliance into a crazed attempt to redeem himself. Quitting his job in a bizarre act of defiance, Ollie spirals into a chilling world of obsession and tormenting voices, threatening both his friendship and sanity. Convinced that a strange piece of rock he has found is a micro-chip which holds a vital message from his fiancé, Ollie sets about trying to unlock it with disastrous results. Somehow purple holds the key. Disturbing and eerily humorous, the film explores the fantasies the mind creates when reality overwhelms.
