[ON HOLD]

Carmen relished everyone's misfortune; better yet, she was the author of it. 

After a childhood filled with hardships, conning people as a faux tarot card reader was the easy way out, and Carmen takes it. Being the bootstrapper that she is, she goes the extra mile and makes her readings come true. She always gave a negative reading as it was trouble-free to bring about than the latter. 

On one such typical evening, everything comes crashing down. She learns secrets that she isn't supposed to, creating a domino effect. Now, she's trapped in a strange room with three rebels by a deranged man. 

She must keep her job a secret but that isn't feasible; all their lives are at stake and not all will live to tell the tale.
