Strike Three

Eighteen-year-old Claire's carefully controlled life fractures the night a blank VHS tape appears on her bed. When she plays it, she witnesses a ritualized torture and execution-real, intimate, and filmed as a message meant only for her. The tape ends with a chilling accusation.
Claire is hunted. Notes appear. Strangers watch. More tapes arrive. Each one documents another death, each victim is someone close, each execution framed as a forced confession. The killer isn't interested in justice. It wants acknowledgment. It wants Claire to understand her role.
As the murders escalate as Claire's grip on reality erodes. Nightmares bleed into waking life. Her friends begin to fear her as much as the tapes, and some vanish altogether. Only her boyfriend, stays close as Claire digs into her buried past, uncovering a childhood trauma she was never meant to remember correctly.
The truth is worse than the tapes.
Years ago, a small act of retaliation at a baseball game ignited a chain of violence that ended in the brutal murder of Claire's family. The crime was buried, rewritten as an accident, and the surviving child-Claire-was shaped by lies. It nurtured rage, obsession, and a meticulously planned reckoning.
Survival depends on choice-whether to keep running from guilt or finally face it head-on.
Some nightmares stop screaming.
Others just wait to be remembered.
