Some stories are best left untold. A washed-up screenwriter discovers a brilliant anonymous script in an old diary and claims it as his own — but guilt curdles into paranoia, obsession, and madness as he’s consumed by the story he stole.
Synopsis Elliot Green, a disillusioned screenwriter on a failing career path, discovers a brilliant but unfinished screenplay hidden inside an old diary. Under pressure to deliver, he claims it as his own, reigniting his success overnight. As industry attention mounts and questions surface, guilt gives way to paranoia. Forced to protect his secret at all costs, Elliot spirals into a web of lies, betrayal, and ultimately murder. The more he tries to control the narrative, the more it threatens to destroy him.
