When love turns into obsession, and fame feeds the flames of madness...
A string of eerie deaths rocks the city, all seemingly tied to one thing: a mysterious force that preys on human emotions, twisting love into lethal obsession. Behind the chaos, a hidden war brews—between supernatural hunters and the shape-shifting demons known as siluman.
It all begins with the shocking double murder of two beloved stars: Kao, a rising actor adored by millions, and Jos, his on-screen partner whose chemistry with Kao sparked a global fan frenzy. At the center of it all stands Ming—a quiet, enigmatic language tutor with no apparent motive... except a love that consumed her sanity.
Ming was never a killer. At least, not at first. Her heart burned only for Kao, the man she coached to conquer the international stage. But the deeper Kao sank into his fame and the fantasy fans created with Jos, the more invisible Ming became. Jealousy turned violent—first in her thoughts, then in terrifying reality.
As fan expectations escalate into obsession, Kao becomes trapped in a narrative he never agreed to. Pressured by contracts, condemned by his own supporters, and torn from the woman he loves, he begins to lose his grip on what’s real. Until the unthinkable happens—a bomb threat, a betrayal, and a death that changes everything.
In the shadows, a sinister entity whispers promises to Ming, unlocking a darkness that spreads across the city. What began as heartbreak spirals into supernatural horror.
Now, an elite group of demon hunters—code-named Mantis—must step in. Known as Shadowhunters, they face their most dangerous adversary yet: a siluman who manipulates not just minds, but the fragile lines between love, hate, and madness.
