After leaving his violent past behind, he focuses on his wife, Sarah, their daughter Emily, and their son Liam, finding solace in the quiet moments of fatherhood. But one night, Alex returns home to find everything shattered. His family is gone, victims of a brutal attack, and the shadow of the criminal gang, the Iron Shadows, looms over their deaths.

Scars
There are things we learn not to say. Things we bury so deep they become part of the architecture of our bones. In the spaces between bedtime stories and slammed doors, between bruises that fade and ones that don’t, a child learns the language of survival—spoken in whispers, in stillness, in silence.
Scars is an unflinching descent into the forgotten corners of memory, where love curdles into fear, and the innocent must make sense of a world built to misunderstand them. Told in shards and silences, this is a portrait of a soul unraveling—quietly, completely, and with a kind of grace that shouldn’t have been necessary.
It’s not about what happened. It’s about what it left behind.

There's Always
In a city where justice is just another commodity, Detective Anya Malik has made a career of chasing the cases no one else will touch. When the mutilated body of a trafficked girl surfaces—bearing the same signature as a long-buried ring—Anya is drawn into a brutal underworld that’s more organized, protected, and personal than she ever imagined.
As she tears through layers of corruption, silencing dirty cops and unmasking mid-level players, Anya risks everything to expose a system that devours its most vulnerable. But in a place where power hides behind badges and blood buys silence, the truth may be more dangerous than the lie.
There’s Always is a three-part crime saga about what we sacrifice in the name of justice—and how monsters are made in the shadows we refuse to see.

Dead Serious: The Musical
Terror has never been this catchy!
Welcome to Chopville—a picture-perfect small town with a killer reputation. Famous for its slasher-movie history, the townsfolk are busily prepping for their beloved annual “Slice of Life” festival. Meanwhile, a group of unwitting city friends arrives for a weekend getaway at a remote cabin deep in the woods, completely unaware they’ve just wandered straight into a living horror movie cliché.
What starts as a relaxing retreat quickly spirals into hilarity and horror when ominous warnings hint at an impending slasher attack. As the group—inevitably—splits up, they’re thrown into a chaotic and gut-busting game of survival. From outrageous horror hijinks to show-stopping musical numbers, the friends must battle not only the masked maniac hunting them but also their own fears, secrets, and spectacularly bad decisions.
Featuring killer dance-offs, side-splitting parodies of classic horror tropes, and surprisingly heartfelt songs, Dead Serious: The Musical is as much about surviving the night as it is about friendship, courage, and celebrating life when the stakes are at their highest.
Will Samantha and her crew outwit the slasher and make it through the night? Or will they join the long list of horror movie statistics?
With toe-tapping tunes, laugh-out-loud twists, and choreography to die for, Dead Serious: The Musical gleefully skewers the slasher genre while delivering a bloody good time. Packed with unexpected turns, infectious energy, and unrelenting fun, Chopville is the place to be—because missing this show? That’s the real horror.
