When Kim returns to the city she fled as a child to search for her missing father, she’s haunted by visions she can’t explain—and as her medication wears off, those visions start aligning with reality. Drawn by the city’s supernatural pull, Beth discovers that the town itself is calling her to expose buried crimes, unleashing secrets that local news icons and the chief of police will do anything to keep hidden. As the lines between past and present blur, Beth must bring the city to its reckoning in this haunting supernatural mystery musical.

Writer Biography - Thomas Newman

Before diving into my current screenwriting projects, I spent a decade as a transformation project manager by day and another decade as a songwriter and lyricist for indie artists by night. These experiences allowed me to work in boardrooms, collaborate on projects with refugees and foster children, and partner with bands and musicians aiming to tell better stories through music. By blending my real-world experiences with my creative work, I strive to bring a down-to-earth feel to my screenwriting—even in supernatural or sci-fi scripts. I aim for narratives that feel both poetic and real.
