In a small town desperate for hope, a man rises to power by posing as a holy saint. To the villagers, he is a savior—performing miracles, offering guidance, and promising redemption. But behind the mask of piety lies greed, manipulation, and a hunger for control.
When the truth begins to unravel, those he has wronged seek justice—and some, revenge. Faith turns to fear, loyalty twists into betrayal, and the line between salvation and damnation grows thin.
Dark, atmospheric, and haunting, Fake Saint explores the dangers of blind devotion and the devastating cost of lies cloaked in holiness.
