Parasocial

Penny Cate has spent most of her life obsessed with one thing.

Ethan Bradford.

Once the golden boy of late-2000s horror, Ethan became a cult icon after starring as the masked killer in Camp Hollow Lake, a slasher classic that shaped Penny's adolescence, warped her taste in men, and left her with an embarrassing fixation on fictional violence and one very specific actor.

Now twenty-six, single, and armed with questionable decision-making skills, Penny makes an impulsive choice that feels equal parts ridiculous and inevitable.
She books Ethan Bradford for a private event.

What begins as an absurd fantasy quickly turns into something far stranger, more intimate, and more psychologically dangerous than Penny anticipated.

Beneath the mask is not the untouchable celebrity she built up in her mind, but a man far more complicated, sharp-edged, and unsettlingly willing to indulge her darkest fantasies.

As the line between performance and reality begins to blur, Penny finds herself confronting an uncomfortable truth.
Sometimes the phrase "don't meet your hero's" can hold both negative and positive warnings in it's meaning.
