In the glittering world of Hollywood, where dreams are made and shattered in equal measure, a sinister plot is about to unravel...

Detective Jack Hawthorne thought he'd seen it all, but the murder of legendary film producer/actor Victor Holloway is about to drag him into the darkest corners of Tinseltown. As the body count rises and the suspects multiply, Jack finds himself caught in a web of lies, deceit, and long-buried secrets.

With the help of Sarah Lancaster, a rising starlet with a mysterious past, Jack must navigate the treacherous waters of Hollywood politics and uncover the truth before the killer strikes again. But in a town where everyone wears a mask, who can he really trust?

From the sun-drenched studios to the shadowy back alleys, "The Final Cut" peels back the glamorous facade of Hollywood to reveal its rotten core. This gripping noir thriller will keep you guessing until the very last page, as Jack races against time to solve the case that could shake the entertainment industry to its very foundations.

In Hollywood, the most dangerous stories are the ones that are true. And this might be the deadliest tale ever told.

We Stood on Sunset Hill by JoshuaMichaelRamirez
7 parts Ongoing
Eight years ago... A chilling secret was buried deep within the government's shadows-a secret so immense it could shatter the fabric of reality. Earth was on the brink of a cataclysm, and only a few knew the truth. John, an elite agent, couldn't live with the weight of it. He chose to defy his orders, vowing to warn his family before it was too late. But as he reached out to them, he was caught. The truth was silenced. His desperate message, unfinished and lost, faded into oblivion. Present day... It's a quiet Friday evening. The sky is painted with the fading colors of sunset as Bucky and his friends gather at their usual spot-Sunset Hill. It's a tradition in their small town, a chance to unwind and watch the world slip into darkness. But tonight, something is different. As the last sliver of sun disappears, Clair's sharp eyes catch a strange red light flickering in the forest across town. With adrenaline coursing through their veins, they venture into the unknown, drawn to the mysterious glow. What they find is more than they ever expected. In the depths of the woods, they stumble upon a forgotten secret: a trail of clues left behind by someone who once fought to protect the truth. Among the debris, a letter was found with the name "John Ketterman" etched into it. Who was John? Why did he disappear? And more importantly, will Bucky and his friends be able to find his family before the end of the world? The answers are buried in the dark corners of their town, waiting to be uncovered, as four friends find themselves caught in a race against time... and toward an impending disaster that no one is prepared for. The world as they know it is on the edge of unraveling-and only they can stop it, if they can survive long enough to piece it all together.
