Synopsis

A concise overview of the premise, tone, and dramatic setup.

An ordinary young man’s life unravels after a single accidental killing. When another death follows, he is pulled into an inescapable spiral. Now, a shrewd detective is on his trail, turning every move into a tense, calculated contest. The two become locked in an endless cat-and-mouse pursuit, where the hunter and the hunted circle each other without resolution, and the young man’s bid to stay hidden only tightens the trap around him.
