Mercer (he/him) and X (they/them) are exes: ex-co-writers and ex-lovers.
Except they have an up-and-coming queer horror novel that needs to be written this weekend.
That's how they find themselves isolated in a most-definitely-not-haunted house in the middle of a thunderstorm, trying to write. At the onset of bizarre happenings, they realize the scary stories and demons in their heads might be more than mere ideas.
Written by Doriane Feinstein
Directed by Finley Poskarbiewicz
Starring Shea Sonsky and Kevin McCann
