Written and directed by Dr Carlette L Norwood

Dena thought she had found the perfect partner in Marcus—attractive, charming, attentive, and utterly devoted. But behind his captivating facade lies a shadow of control and manipulation that slowly tightens around her. As her identity begins to erode, Dena struggles to distinguish love from possession, and loyalty from submission. Isolated and unravelling, her only lifelines are her lifelong friends, Kiran and Angela, and her parents whose unwavering support may not be enough to save her. In a world where love turns toxic, Dena must summon the courage to escape—or risk losing herself completely.
