The protagonist, Rosa, from a working-class background, delves into the dark underbelly of Ares, facing sinister hazing rituals and a mysterious entity harbored by the society for generations.
As Rosa gets more involved with the society, involving drugs, sex, and loyalty tests, she uncovers the deep-rooted evil within Ares, metaphorically linked to Dutch history of slave trade and colonialism.
Rosa's disruption of the elite's equilibrium leads to unknown powers being unleashed, making 'Ares' a compelling watch for horror enthusiasts seeking an intellectual thriller.
