A claustrophobic psychological thriller that weaponizes identity and self-knowledge to create mounting dread around mortality and the fragility of the self.

A late-night suicide hotline operator receives a disturbing call from someone claiming to be him, knowing personal details only he would know. The caller threatens to end his life within the hour, forcing the operator into a tense, emotional race against time. As the clock ticks down, he must confront his deepest fears and uncover the truth before it’s too late to save “himself.”
