Show Notes
When a hardened procurer delivers a sealed SCP specimen to a reclusive former Foundation insider in a crumbling Gothic mansion, he expects a straightforward payday and a quick exit. Instead, he unleashes something far worse than he imagined: a carnivorous, intelligent vine with a hunger that won’t be denied—and a host who finds endless entertainment in watching it feed.
