Open Auditions for Independent Supernatural Horror Short Film
Sgt. Sire Horn was once the NYPD’s most relentless narcotics officer — a woman who played by her own rules and left a trail of broken lives in her wake. But after the botched takedown of a drug dealer leads to the accidental death of a young girl, Bianca Michelson, Sire’s career—and sanity—begin to unravel. Suspended, drinking hard, and haunted by bad decisions, she stumbles through the underbelly of the city, where shadows move strangely and whispers call her name. One night, after a drunken altercation in a seedy strip club, she begins seeing things — a little girl with bleeding eyes, a man with a crushed throat, faces from old cases she never quite forgot… or never wanted to remember. But this isn’t guilt. This isn’t a breakdown. Someone—or something— is hunting her. And they know everything. As the walls close in and reality fractures, Sire is forced to confront a terrifying question: What happens when the dead remember more than the living?
