Brainfog

A brain-injured man wakes in a basement with a restrained friend and evidence of violence he cannot remember.

Synopsis

Evan wakes in a locked basement apartment with no memory of how he arrived. His closest friend, Renee, is restrained across the room, and the signs of violence around her point toward an act he cannot remember.

As he tries to understand what happened, objects shift and notes appear in his own handwriting. Fog enters through a vent, leaving him unconscious; each time he wakes, Renee is in greater danger and the evidence against him has grown.

With only minutes between blackouts, Evan must find a way to protect his friend while questioning whether the danger comes from outside the room or from himself.
