Head Hunter's Mate

Head Hunter's Mate
Torn between a dangerous secret identity, a boss who betrays and sends you into the lion's den, and the terrifying possibility that the serial killer you witnessed might be your new boss... all while battling your own desperate need for love and acceptance. Welcome to City A, where the hunt is on, and you might just be the next target.

The adrenaline of a successful photo scoop fades as Clio races through the city streets, the crisp evening air turning chilly under gathering dark clouds. Inside the familiar office building of NL News, greetings from coworkers offer a brief respite before she heads to her boss, Nolan’s, office.

Eager to share her success, Clio bursts in, only to find Nolan with his secretary, Cherelle, in a compromising position. The shock and betrayal hit hard, quickly overshadowed by the terror of a bloodcurdling scream heard in a nearby alley. Driven by a mix of fear and a naive sense of duty, Clio ventures into the darkness and witnesses a gruesome murder, the figure of the Head Hunter illuminated for a horrifying moment.

Drenched and trembling, Clio flees back to the office, seeking solace in Nolan, only to find her trust shattered by his dismissive response to her trauma and his cruel words about her identity. Forced into a taxi alone, she catches a terrifying glimpse of the figure from the alley watching her leave, confirming she has been seen.

Days later, still reeling from the trauma and betrayal, Clio is presented with an unbelievable assignment: travel to City A and infiltrate the company of the rumored Head Hunter suspect – the CEO of A.M. – to gather proof. The decision, made by Nolan, feels like a cruel punishment, but his promise of revealing their relationship upon her success offers a glimmer of hope she desperately clings to. Arriving in City A, the fear returns with full force as she meets the CEO, Matthew Merikh, whose intense gaze and physical appearance chillingly resemble the killer she saw, and whose bizarre reaction to her scent hints at a deeper, terrifying connection.
