Staring at Nothing

Dr. Victor Franks, Director of Genetic Research at the University of Southern California, discovers an anomaly while genetically altering dead cells. Evidence of metabolism. He realizes he has just stumbled upon something once thought impossible, something that defies everything he knows to be true as a scientist. He has discovered the cure for death.As he scales up his experiments, igniting a synthetic force inside his dead specimens, he inadvertently ignites something inside himself—something he can’t control.Staring at Nothing is the modern-day Frankenstein, an updated and terrifying recounting of the classic tale. It’s horror on a cerebral level, science fiction that includes actual science, and a true human drama that explores the perils of pride, ambition, and hubris. What would it be like to possess the power over death itself? How would the science behind such a miracle work? And who would be the real monster? The creation … or the creator?
