Movie-making can be murder.

The project
Final Draft, a psychological horror, is being filmed at a house deep in a forest, miles from anywhere in the wintry wilds of West Cork.

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 opportunity will be her big breakβ€”and she knows she was lucky to get it, after what happened the last time she was on a set.

The problem
Something isn't quite right about Final Draft. When the strange goings-on in the script start to happen on set too, Adele begins to fear that the real horror lies off the page...

Blair Witch meets Fleabag - I laughed out loud then couldn't switch the light off! A horror about a horror film, set on a set, this is a gem of the genre, delivered with pure mastery.' - Janice Hallet
