Nora's Cafe
Alex, a college student in New York, stumbles upon a buzzing late-night cafe and discovers not only the best coffee he’s ever tasted but also Nora, the charming and beautiful young owner of the cafe. Night after night, Alex can’t help but return to the coffee shop. He is not only enchanted by the glowing aura radiating off of Nora but also by the magical atmosphere and the addictive coffee.
What Alex doesn’t seem to notice are the strange purple spots appearing not only on him, but the regulars as well. His attraction to Nora only grows stronger as time passes, and drives him to uncover a disturbing secret hidden behind closed doors.
Nora’s Cafe is a slow-burning, mysterious thriller where comfort twists into control, and the dangers of things that taste too good to be true.
