SCORCH MARKS
In the wake of an unexplained global catastrophe, Beckett 
(Brandon Shypkowski) awakens to a world of scorched skies 
and eerie desolation, convinced he may be the last person left 
alive. Isolated in a coastal home, his fragile sense of reality 
begins to fracture as he is haunted by the presence of his 
abusive ex-husband Joel (Chris Salvatore), forcing him into a 
confrontation with both lingering trauma and unresolved love. 
As supernatural forces close in and a primordial threat emerges 
from beyond the ruins, Beckett must navigate a collapsing world shaped by memory, guilt, 
and survival. Also starring Tiffany Shepis, Peter Stickles, and Vander Von Odd.
