Logline

A young woman hunting her boyfriend’s killer uncovers an Aztec death cult beneath an elite racquet club — and she’s its next queen.

The Sneer Racquet Club seen through a chain-link fence
I — THE CLUB

A hundred years of membership. No one ever really leaves.

II — THE WATCHERS

Someone is always at the fence line.

An investigation board covered in missing-persons posters
III — THE MISSING

Children whose names no one says.

Bare feet descending stone stairs carved with glyphs
IV — BENEATH

Under the courts, something has been kept fed.

Masked attendants at a candlelit altar
V — THE CIRCLE

Every member wears a mask.
