Cold Creek

One fateful decision turns Raiden Morita’s peaceful existence into a living Hell. Forced to take part in unthinkable, illegal acts in the name of entertainment, an underground organization takes him far from home and keeps him under the watchful eyes of The Cutter, the sinister leader. If he attempts any form of escape, he will surely meet his demise. Seo-jun, the alluring hired hand, befriends Raiden and swears he’ll help him and the other victims escape. The two of them fall fast into an unbreakable friendship, putting them under immediate suspicion. But they remain obedient to the system just long enough to think of a perfect escape. As days go by, what becomes more apparent goes well beyond brutality. It unearths long-buried secrets of Raiden’s own past that are far more unsettling than he could’ve ever imagined…
