Can she achieve her dream and survive?
Delve into a world where ambition meets horror.

Fast-forward seventeen years and meet Melody, nicknamed 'Mel'. Mourning her grandmother and juggling double shifts in a dead-end Central Florida hotel, Mel harbors dreams woven with rhythm and rhyme.

Immerse yourself in a tale that blurs the line between ambition and survival, with echoes of the past reverberating in the present. As Mel steps onto the stage, she doesn't just face her opponents - she confronts a spectral presence, a chilling reminder of the blood-stained legacy of Miami's underground scene.
