FLASHBACK
By Syed Naqve

GENRE: Thriller / Suspense
LOGLINE:


Two struggling filmmakers desperate to turn their dreams into reality stage a fake murder for a dark-web scheme, but when their deception spirals into real consequences, one must confront the devastating price of ambition and betrayal.

SYNOPSIS:

Two struggling filmmakers, Ali and Zohaib, dream of making their own film but remain trapped by financial difficulties and the pressure of unfulfilled ambitions. When they discover a dark-web group offering a huge financial reward in exchange for a murder, they initially dismiss the idea. Desperate to change their lives, Ali develops a plan to stage Zohaib’s murder as a fake killing and use the footage to enter the scheme.

What begins as a carefully planned deception takes a darker turn when Zohaib appears to die during the staged shooting. Years later, Ali has achieved the success and wealth he once dreamed of, but the guilt of what happened to his closest friend continues to haunt him.

When an aspiring filmmaker named Zein approaches Ali with a story about two filmmakers who commit a murder for money, Ali realizes that the story is far closer to his own past than it should be. As the truth begins to surface, Ali is forced to confront the consequences of his choices, leading to a final revelation that changes everything he believed about Zohaib, his past, and the price of his success.
