About

A feature-length mystery/thriller made with a small cast and crew in upstate New York and the Berkshires.

Story Synopsis

A series of mysterious murders leads a young woman on a search to find her missing father, the lead suspect. But did he disappear to escape the police, or to escape the real killer?

As the search deepens, she risks leading danger back to the few people closest to her. The story uses a thriller structure, family tension, and a small-town production footprint to turn limited resources into pressure.
