Mine (2025)
Crystal has what most people dream of: a devoted husband, a lakefront home, and long, quiet days to fill as she pleases. But beneath the surface of her idyllic life lies a secret—a crushing debt she can’t escape. Determined to claw her way back to freedom, she turns to reselling trinkets from the local flea market, where she meets an eccentric collector eager to help her succeed. Their friendship is a lifeline…until it tightens into a noose.

As Crystal’s world begins to shrink, the lines blur between generosity and control, kindness and possession. What begins as a side hustle becomes a sinister game of ownership—one that could cost Crystal everything, including herself.
