After the death of his wife from a debilitating eating disorder, Jed falls into a severe state of depression and convinces himself that death is the only atonement for his neglect.

Megalomaniac questions the invisible line between victim and executioner, a story about the weight of patriarchy and the illusion of Manichaeism, a frightful story that evokes the ghost of one of the most terrifying Belgian criminals, the mons's dismembered, an anonymous monster that acted in the 90s and was never identified.
