The Phaṇin Boy follows Adir, a lonely and bullied teenager who is betrayed and abandoned on a toxic, snake-infested island. Left for dead, he miraculously survives when the venom and chemicals in his body trigger a terrifying transformation-giving him serpent-like abilities, enhanced speed, and deadly instincts. Returning home, Adir seeks revenge on those who wronged him, but soon discovers a darker truth-children are being kidnapped for cruel experiments by a mysterious scientist. As he unravels a hidden world of human-animal hybrids and deadly enemies, Adir must embrace his newfound powers to fight back. Will he become the predator... or the prey?
