A slasher romcom where a horror studio worker faces a killer from her past.
The plot centers on Mabel, an employee at a horror studio, who receives a threatening Valentine card. The note references a dead body found on campus with her ex, Danny, and implies the sender is ready to kill again. Mabel returns to confront this threat, finding herself trapped with Danny.
