Near-Future & Psychological
8 Children
8 Children – A psychological thriller of identity, espionage, family power, and spiritual interference, where reality itself becomes the most unreliable narrator. After a deadly car accident involving identical twins, only one sister survives. Haunted by fragments of memory, she recalls a secret life of forbidden love, CIA entanglements, and mafia ties, taking unthinkable risks on foreign soil. As she slowly recovers, physical and non-physical signs hint that something in her story is wrong. The truth—about who she is and what really happened—doesn’t fully surface until it is almost too late, forcing a shattering awakening.
