Pitch deck and additional materials available upon request.
As strange coincidences pile up and a former patient warns her that Dr. Digger isn’t who he seems, Clara uncovers a terrifying truth: her psychiatrist has been secretly manipulating every major decision in her life. Driven by his belief that he can heal people better than conventional therapy ever could, Digger has crossed every ethical boundary, quietly steering his patients’ lives while convincing himself that the ends justify the means.
As Clara fights to reclaim her freedom, the line between genuine choice and manufactured destiny begins to disappear.
What starts as a deeply personal psychological thriller evolves into a chilling exploration of obsession, free will, and the dangerous consequences of believing that one person has the right to decide another’s fate.
