Suicide Doll

A tragic take on a classic myth of obsession and longing…

Narcissus, a demigod born from a secret union between Echo and Narcissus, was once given a young girl named Lisette. Growing up together in a magnificent London house, Narcissus and Lisette shared one heart, one mind, and one life. However, adolescence polluted innocent love and turned it into self-destructive debauchery.

Blind to everything but vapid pleasure, Narcissus closed his eyes to Lisette’s suffering, only seeing her as a carnal reflection equally committed to the pursuit of sexual bliss.

However, Narcissus’ careless cruelty pushed Lisette too far and he found her dangling from the end of a rope.

Broken from guilt and misery, he searched for Lisette throughout the centuries---even though her soul is marked with hatred for him. Obsessed with righting his wrongs, Narcissus finally finds his beloved Lisette in the body of a stripper named Chessie.

Amidst a tawdry world of fractured illusion and manufactured delight, will Narcissus finally learn to see beyond himself and earn forgiveness? Or will Lisette keep breaking for his punishment?
