Death Benefits

In the coastal city of Portfield, a string of fatal car accidents among graduates of a private vocational school draws the suspicion of Ellie Croft, a former nurse turned insurance fraud investigator. As Ellie delves deeper, she uncovers a labyrinth of psychological coercion where students are systematically stripped of their will, believing their only hope lies in the school's promises. Each crash is a meticulously staged insurance claim, and the students are nothing more than pawns. After multiple attempts on her life, Ellie discovers the mastermind is her own mentor—a revered figure in the industry who has perfected the art of erasing human autonomy for profit.
