Unbeknownst to her, Keeya is merely a character in a screenplay written by Jason, who now scrambles to regain control. Desperate to meet his deadline, he forces Keeya through a series of contrived scenarios, each designed to coerce her into relinquishing the word, “demise”. When manipulation fails, he sends Trevor to take it by force. But Jason underestimates his creation. As his deadline passes, Keeya seizes an opportunity for revenge—breaking through the boundaries of fiction to confront her writer in the real world. Their final standoff will decide who truly has the power: the creator or the character who refuses to die.
