  • “An incredibly engaging script. At times, it is as thrilling as it is hair-raising… I absolutely loved this script. The pacing is fantastic, at times a slow burn, and at other moments, incredibly fast-paced, particularly at the end, and it all works.” —ScreenCraft Action & Adventure Competition
