Synopsis
The project: Final Draft, a psychological horror. Promising Young Thing Steve Dade will direct.

The lead: Former soap-star Adele Rafferty has stepped in to replace the original actress at the very last minute. She can't help but hope that this will be her big break.
The problem: Something isn't quite right on the set of Final Draft.

Reviews

'Totally gripping and batshit in a brilliant way. Highly highly recommend!' Laura Marshall
'Twisty, clever, complex, blackly comic and, oh yes, skin-crawlingly scary' Catherine Kirwan
