A contemporary reimaging of the classic Oscar Wilde novel,ΓÇ£The Picture of Dorian Gray,ΓÇ¥ Gray is a supernatural revengethriller about an alluring but violent woman, Dorian Gray, who seeks vengeanceon a cabal of powerful men who wronged her years ago; and of the straight-lacedAfrican American detective with a past of his own, who is tasked with stoppingher.
The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar WildeΓÇÖs only novel and oneof the classics of gothic literature, is the tale of the most beautiful man ofhis age, who sells his soul and his conscience in exchange for eternal youth,beauty and power ΓÇö and who spends his life murdering, raping andcorrupting. All the time in his attic, his picture degrades androts.
GRAY takes that basic idea but flips its moral framework and genderarchetypes: our DORIAN GRAY is a Millennial social media princess who driftsthrough the coolest cliques of NYC, breaking hearts and turning heads wherevershe goes. But Dorian has secrets. For one thing, sheΓÇÖs a violent criminal.For another, sheΓÇÖs an immortal creature of magic, who commits violentburglaries and assaults some of New YorkΓÇÖs most powerful men.

30years ago, whilst an innocent student, Dorian was sexually assaulted by thesemen. In that moment that she became something both more and less than human. 30years later, but not a day older, sheΓÇÖs ready for her revenge. Then Dorianmeets Detective HANK WUTAN, the African-American NYPD detective assigned to stopthese crimes, struggling with his own loyalties as a Black cop in the era ofDefund the Police. Despite the fact that Dorian is his suspect number one, andhe is effectively working for her abusers, they fall for each other,hard.
GRAY takes WildeΓÇÖs classic novel and reinvents it as a taleof cathartic revenge for the #MeToo and Black Lives Matter era, a violentfantasy about how powerful, super-rich white men donΓÇÖt always win, how thepowerless can find justice, and about how a murderous demon and a law-abidingdetective can be soul mates.
