Concept

Sinking into Substance narrates the story of two friends that get introduced to the world of drugs. Drawn by curiosity and influenced by external factors, they venture deeper into the allure of substances, their allure masking the lurking dangers. Unaware of the impending withdrawal symptoms and severe side effects, the duo becomes entangled in a narrative that takes a dramatic turn, leading them into an inescapable abyss.
