Addiction by Subtraction (2016)

In the stark light of day, Jacob James is a modest, unassuming scientist and professor. Beneath his calm exterior, however, lurks an insatiable curiosity about humanity's shadowy depths. His thirst for knowledge leads him to a groundbreaking discovery—a chemical key akin to ecstasy—that can unleash his own dormant dark side. Despite nurturing a tender romance with his colleague, Kerry, Jacob is lured into a tempestuous liaison with Candice, a prosperous and seductive executive. This intoxicating rendezvous liberates years of suppressed aggression within Jacob, transforming him into a sadistic lover. Candice, intoxicated by his unleashed ferocity, becomes hopelessly infatuated. Undeterred by the cautionary voices of his close friend Simon and Candice's friend Kara, Jacob continues his dangerous dance with the chemical key. His newfound power even emboldens him to face his past demons, including a strained relationship with his estranged father. However, the tumultuous tide takes a sudden turn when Candice reveals she's pregnant with Jacob's child. Her desire to keep the baby ignites a fiery conflict, turning Jacob from a tormentor into a tormented victim of Candice's own sadism. As Jacob's rage spirals out of control, unaided by the drug, his life threatens to crumble. His explosive encounters with his father echo his own deep-seated fears of repeating past mistakes. The very drug that once served as his dark liberator now endangers everything he cherishes, including his innocent love for Kerry. In this harrowing journey into the abyss of human desires, will Jacob find a way to quell his destructive instincts and salvage his life? Can he discover tranquility, or will he succumb to the addiction, forever subtracting pieces of his soul? The answers lie within the heart of 'Addiction by Subtraction'.
