The official story was that she left. The family never spoke of her again. Everything changes when a mysterious package arrives. Inside is Naomi's diary, sent by a stranger named Anna. Its pages, scented with jasmine and menthol cigarettes, don't suggest a story of abandonment. 1985, The Red Velvet Restaurant. Naomi is a young waitress.

But the diary holds more than just past pain. VELVET SCARS is a raw and relentless journey into the heart of a domestic thriller, where the most terrifying monsters wear the mask of love.
