In Seahorse, Francisco Durham navigates a turbulent journey of self-discovery within the captivating allure of The Crashing Sigh, an enigmatic artistic collective accused by the press of being a cult. As Francisco finds solace and guidance under the wing of mentor Javier, he engages the interest of Ian, a timid student harboring dreams of poetic acclaim. However, their aspirations face relentless opposition from fellow student Connor, a harbinger of societal collapse fixated on his online cryptocurrency realm, MadRain, and its elusive rulers, The Glittering Seahorse.

While invited to a high-level function, Francisco witnesses the harrowing depths of The Crashing Sigh’s indoctrination rituals, known as ‘Appraisals’, triggering a desperate struggle to shield Ian from the collective’s clutches. Yet, as Francisco grapples with his own demons and the threat of exposure looms large, the fragile balance between loyalty and self-preservation unravels, putting everything he holds dear at stake.
