Paranoia

A mentally fractured combat veteran named Henry believes he is navigating a dangerous neighborhood in Afghanistan while clearing buildings and searching for enemy threats. As paranoia and traumatic hallucinations consume him, reality slowly begins to unravel. After taking a woman hostage during a tense standoff, Henry discovers the horrifying truth: he is not in a war zone, but in his own American suburban neighborhood, and the woman he is holding is his wife. Paranoia is a psychological thriller about PTSD, delusion, and the devastating consequences of unresolved trauma.
