Mindreader

A group of strangers wakes up in a locked room with no memory of how they got there. They soon discover that one of them has the ability to read minds, and this revelation sparks paranoia and suspicion as they try to figure out who among them is responsible for their predicament. As the mind-reader's power is revealed, their captor uses it to sow discord and turn the group against each other, leading to a fight for survival.
