Synopsis:
When his wife Julia is killed in an explosion at a mob warehouse, the world of artist Oliver Allen (Ryan Dunlap) literally turns gray.
Oliver, a painter who had hoped to trade a checkered past for a new life with Julia, suffers from Achromatopsia the inability to see any color a condition that plunges him into a world of black and white and shades of gray.
Its the least of his problems.
The Mob is after him. Gavin Calhoun (Tim Russ of Star Trek: Voyager, Samantha Who?), is intent on two things: avenging the death of his son, who also died at the warehouse; and finding out what Oliver knows about a dead undercover cop who penetrated the Family a cop who happened to be Julias father (Anthony Tyler Quinn of Boy Meets World, No Greater Love).
So Oliver abandons his witness-protection safe house in Denver, one step ahead of Calhouns murderous lieutenant, Jamison (Doug Jones of Hellboy 1 & 2, Pan's Labyrinth, and Fantastic Four 2: Rise of the Silver Surfer), and seeks refuge in the college town of his idyllic university days with Julia. Amidst a swirl of flashbacks, he enlists the help of Blake, his eccentric college roommate, and Winston, a techno-geek with an arsenal of tricked out toys that go bang.
Into the mix comes Rachel Soren (Marisa Draeger), a stunning and mysterious woman who offers a strange deal: art for information. In return for a painting, she promises answers to Olivers shaded past, sending the tortured artist on a desperate quest to discover the reasons behind the spiral of violence.
Oliver descends into the netherworld, mining the back streets and alleys and last-chance churches for any detail about a mob database and the decryption key that might unlock it. Oliver's search catapults him into a web of betrayal in which no one seems to be who they are, where loyalties are tested, and allegiances broken, giving him a last chance to make peace with the past and a new shot at a future.

@thethickrepeater No, Doug is an incredibly hard working actor. Yes, he's called on to do many creatures in the bigger works, but he also delivers the performances for all of the films. Some get replaced via voiceover, but he's been doing his own voicework as of late (Hellboy 2 most recently). He's a very versatile actor and does more than creature acting.
