You can’t outrun what’s inside you.

And when the past hunts in silence,
even the sharpest mind can go blind.

Hailie Chambers is used to blood.

As a forensic photographer, she’s the calm behind the crime scene tape—documenting brutality, frame by frame, with a precision most people can’t stomach. She doesn’t flinch. She doesn’t get involved. She just captures the truth and moves on.

But when a new case surfaces—a scene more sadistic than anything she’s ever documented—something in her shifts.

The violence isn’t random. The cuts are clean. The message is deliberate.

And it feels familiar.

As the investigation deepens, Hailie begins to unravel. Blackouts. Lost time. A gnawing suspicion that what’s being done out there… might be connected to what’s buried inside her. Her past isn’t just haunting her dreams—it’s crawling up from the basement of her mind, and it’s dragging something unspeakable with it.

Set against the cold hum of forensic labs and the sterile silence of memory, HAILIE is a psychological thriller that peels back the skin of trauma to expose the raw nerves beneath. It's sharp, unrelenting, and disturbingly intimate.

Some truths live in the shadows.

Others stare you dead in the face.
