Synopsis/Details
The story follows two enigmatic young men—known as the Trauma Twins—bound by a shared past and a haunting sense of purpose. Together, they drift through urban spaces, targeting affluent women with charm, music, and emotional resonance. Their method is elegant yet chilling: gain trust, mirror needs, strike intimacy—and leave behind confusion, fear, and loss. For them, it’s more than deception; it’s a ritual, a performance, a release.
But beneath the harmony of their partnership lies dissonance. As one of the twins begins to question the ethics of their mission and the emotional toll it takes, subtle cracks appear. A new target—different, disarming—pushes boundaries neither expected to cross. Their once unshakable connection is tested by conflicting desires, emerging guilt, and the specter of their past trauma.
Set against a backdrop of cold modernity, whispered conversations, and unresolved grief, PLAY ME A TRAUMA explores the psychology of manipulation, the complexity of friendship, and the fragile space between healing and hurting. It’s a story about what happens when survival becomes a performance—and whether love, even in its most broken form, can be trusted to hold.
Simultaneously poetic and unsettling, this is not just a tale of crime—it’s a melody of control, longing, and the quiet terror of being truly seen.
