A fake kiss with his best friend James was meant to be a harmless stunt to fend off a psychotic ex. But for Chris, it unlocks a door he was never meant to open - feelings he can't explain and questions he's afraid to ask. Determined to protect their friendship, Chris tries to bury his growing attraction. Yet James is hiding secrets far darker than unspoken love - secrets that bind them to a past neither can outrun. As Chris edges closer to the truth, he's forced to confront the horrifying reality: some kisses don't end with love - they end with betrayal, obsession, and blood. As their lighthearted bromance begins to blur into something more, everything spirals into psychological warfare with the arrival of a third presence - one far more dangerous than they ever imagined. With trust fracturing and mind games escalating, it's no longer just about attraction... but survival.
