The young, beautiful and highly susceptible Dorian Gray is pulled into
the hedonistic haze of London's high society, where he falls under the
pernicious influence of Lord Henry Wotton. Oscar Wilde's nightmarish
tale gorges on pleasure and sin, corruption and vanity, as the story
takes further dark twists and a Faustian deal threatens Gray's very
soul. He will go to any lengths to keep his fleeting beauty and youth,
but his painted portrait reveals the truth of his dark and twisted
nature, changing its appearance at every misdeed, until the monstrous
horror of Dorian's scarred soul is too much for him to bear.
