Seth Verman, the man once infamously convicted of a brutal double murder sixteen years ago, has returned to the world outside prison walls. His conviction, now overturned, was seen as a landmark victory for those who believe in second chances and the fallibility of the justice system. But not everyone is eager to embrace the narrative of Seth as the wronged man seeking redemption.
Aden Weaver, a once-successful writer now grappling with the twilight of his career, Aden has found a singular focus in Seth’s release. While Seth carefully reconstructs a new life, offering kind gestures to neighbors and building a fresh routine, Aden cannot shake the memories of the original case—the grotesque crime scene photos, the compelling evidence that had once pointed squarely at Seth, and the sense of unease that has never quite left him.
Personal Demons is a psychological chess game between two men—one trying to reclaim a shattered life and the other desperately clinging to a belief that evil still lurks just beneath the surface.
