Director
Synopsis
After years away, Dilara returns home for the funeral of her childhood friend Jennifer. The town feels different, her old friend group even more so. Grief hangs in the air, but something else lingers too. The name no one says out loud: Jimmy.

Once convicted of a violent crime, Jimmy became the town’s urban legend. Now, his story is back in circulation: as a true crime podcast everyone’s listening to. Against her better judgment, Dilara starts listening too. But the voice in her headphones feels too familiar. Too close. And after listening, something seems to be triggered when Jimmy returns to set right what was done to him.

What begins as a search for answers slowly unravels into something dangerous. When another tragedy strikes during a memorial rave, Dilara realizes the past isn’t done with them and Jimmy’s story isn’t over.
