Synopsis

On a stormy night, Myra, drunk and distraught, hits what appears to be a little girl on an empty road. But there’s no body, only memories of a past crime she thought was buried. Drawn into an abandoned hostel, Myra encounters a mechanic who isn’t who he seems, and a series of spectral figures: a teenager, a middle-aged woman, and an old lady in white. Together they reveal the truth: she once killed a child and hid the body, and these are the ghosts of her stolen future. Tormented by the ghosts and hunted by sewn-mouthed revenants, Myra is forced into the same fridge where she once left her victim to die. And the ‘mechanic’, who locks her in the fridge, turns out to be the brother of the girl Myra killed. A girl whose revenge is still incomplete. This supernatural horror short explores how unpunished crimes against children linger, not only as ghosts but as stolen possibilities, haunting both the guilty and the society that ignored them.
