Description
Lights Out follows a woman whose social-media feed has become dominated by shirtless men in ghost masks and other masked figures. She is especially drawn to tattooed men dressed in cosplay, military gear, or monster-like costumes, sometimes carrying knives or wearing fake blood. These images seem safely confined to fantasy until a drunken text brings her desires into real life. What follows is a fast-paced dark romance involving a masked man whose morality is difficult to judge. The story turns the unsettling imagery of her online fixation into a dangerous encounter with the kind of figure she previously watched only through a screen.
