The Sympathy Trap

In the decaying town of Harrowfield, a reclusive widower named Arthur Greaves has lived in silence since his son was killed by police years ago—a case dismissed without charges. As protests erupt over the latest police shooting of an unarmed Black man, a burglary at Arthur's home awakens a meticulous, terrifying vengeance. Using his skills as a retired toolmaker, he turns his house into a labyrinth of gruesome traps. The bloodbath captivates a nation already drowning in performative outrage, forcing a grim question: when empathy never becomes reform, is it anything more than self-serving pity?
