In this taut and chilling crime thriller from director Benjamin Dawson, a small, tightly-knit community is shattered when a series of brutal, ritualistic murders expose the darkest recesses of the human psyche. The story follows a troubled detective, played by Ethan Horrocks, who is forced to confront his own haunted past as he investigates the killings alongside a skeptical partner, portrayed by Thomas Bromley. As the body count rises, the detective becomes convinced that the murderer is driven by a twisted, personal vendetta against the town's most influential figures, including a mysterious recluse ( Ryan Cookney) and a volatile local businessman ( Jonathan Sadgrove). With the help of a determined forensic analyst ( Caitlin Morrey) and a witness with a hidden agenda ( Hannah Dawson), the team races against time to decode a series of cryptic clues left at each crime scene. The film's grim, atmospheric tone and claustrophobic pacing build an unrelenting sense of dread, exploring themes of guilt, obsession, and the monstrous capacity for cruelty that can lurk behind a familiar face. Every suspect harbors a secret, and no one is above suspicion in this gripping, 22-minute descent into moral chaos.
