Description:

In this gripping thriller, an overworked Hollywood studio executive receives a series of chilling death threats from an unknown source. As the threats escalate in intensity and danger, he finds himself entangled in a complex web of suspicion and fear. The intriguing twist is that the threatening writer's script remains unidentified among dozens of submitted manuscripts, creating a tense game of cat-and-mouse between the executive and the vengeful writer.The movie explores themes of deception, power dynamics within the film industry, and the consequences of judgement clouded by overwork and deadlines. With every passing day, the executive's paranoia deepens as he frantically tries to uncover the writer's identity before it's too late. The audience is invited to join him on this edge-of-your-seat journey, questioning their own ability to distinguish truth from deception in a world where the stakes are life and death.
