Synopsis/Details
Ethan and Orion, two battle-hardened mercenaries, are assigned a covert mission: retrieve a mysterious briefcase hidden in a rebel-controlled village deep within an enigmatic forest. The extraction seems simple—until their map becomes useless, their GPS fails, and they realize they are completely lost. As they push forward, pursued by unseen enemies, they begin to witness unsettling phenomena: ghostly soldiers from different eras, spectral figures, and haunting whispers in the trees. What starts as a survival mission morphs into a surreal and psychological odyssey. Ethan begins to suffer vivid hallucinations—visions of his deceased loved ones, memories of past sins, and encounters with manifestations of guilt and regret. The forest becomes a symbolic purgatory, forcing him to face the consequences of a life filled with violence, betrayal, and remorse. As reality blurs and Orion himself starts behaving strangely, Ethan must confront a terrifying possibility: he may not have survived his last mission, and the forest is not a place on any map—but a metaphysical threshold between life and death. The briefcase they carry may contain more than a secret—it may hold the final judgment of a soul.
