Y/N, a psychology intern, begins a one-year placement at a high-security psychiatric prison hospital. Tasked with observing a notorious male patient, they quickly find themselves drawn into his unnerving attention. As professional boundaries blur, obsession and manipulation quietly take hold, leaving Y/N questioning who is studying whom and how far they’re willing to go.
Nine NYU film students travel to a remote Appalachian village to document a fading ritual for their final project. Welcomed with warmth by the villagers, everything seems perfect until cracks appear.

In a village that treats outsiders like family… someone must be chosen.
