About the project: In the heart of New England, a deeply scarred man named Elliot Cain emerges from the shadows of his traumatic past to confront the people who turned his life into a nightmare. Abused, neglected, and betrayed by his family and the world around him, Elliot spent his youth at the mercy of a corrupt system and his ruthless father, Edward Cain—a man whose criminal empire thrives on human trafficking and violence. Elliot’s journey begins in his childhood home, a secluded cottage filled with memories of torment. Once a quiet, lonely boy, Elliot now transforms into a relentless force of vengeance after escaping from a decade-long stay at a psychiatric facility. His escape sets off a deadly chain of events that drags everyone connected to his past friends, enemies, and innocent bystanders into his orbit of chaos. At the center of this harrowing story are three of Elliot’s childhood friends: Lily Reeves, Jason, and Devin, whose bond with Elliot was tested during a pivotal, drug-fueled incident in their youth. As adults, their lives take vastly different turns, yet they remain entangled in the dark web of Elliot’s vendetta. Meanwhile, Edward Cain’s criminal empire faces a reckoning, with his ambitious daughter Samantha and his brutal sons Marcus and Luke striving to maintain control as Elliot closes in. Adding to the chaos is Boomer Reeves, a military veteran driven by revenge for the murder of his father, Mark Reeves, at Edward’s hands. As the bodies pile up and secrets unravel, the lines between justice and vengeance blur. Elliot’s childhood innocence has long since been replaced by a cold, calculating determination to destroy the Cain family and anyone who stands in his way. But as he carries out his brutal mission, his past connections, particularly Lily, force him to confront the humanity he thought he had lost. This psychological horror-thriller delves deep into themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the cyclical nature of violence, all set against the chilling backdrop of New England. Will Elliot find redemption, or will his quest for vengeance consume him entirely? Rate: About compensation, you will speak privately.
