“Weaves a cool and cunning story... delivers a good few cold shivers.” -- Time Out

“Naylah Ahmed uses the ideas of possession and haunting as a tantalising way of exploring perceptions of (and prejudices towards) 'otherness.’” -- Metro (London)

A vivid and compelling thriller about belief and retribution.

Mustafa is in prison for the death of a teenage boy during an exorcism. Racked with guilt at the loss of an innocent life and isolated in a world where his beliefs are constantly challenged, he’s trying to avoid trouble. But when prisoners who taunt him suffer mysterious injuries and prison officers start behaving strangely, Mustafa realises the spirit he tried to banish is still with him, and he must confront it once again.

Naylah Ahmed was a joint winner of the 2008 Bruntwood Playwriting Competition, in association with the Manchester Royal Exchange. She has also written for television and radio.
