Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film inverts the typical revenge thriller by making the 'mentor' figure the true architect of violence, suggesting trauma survivors can be weaponized by those who mimic empathy.
Lead actor Charlie Babcock and director Kyle Downes developed the project through a mutual connection in recovery communities, lending uncomfortable authenticity to the support group sequences.
