Nightmare Street

A washed-up former football star, now a detective, finds himself embroiled in a series of murders that mirror the unsolved crimes from his college days. As the body count rises, he must confront his own dark past and the possibility that the killer might be someone he knows, or even himself. The investigation becomes increasingly personal and dangerous, blurring the lines between reality and his own tormented memories.
