Suffocation
At an elite high school where victory is everything, the pool hides a secret no one wants to name. When a scandal involving a coach and a student ends in tragedy, the truth sinks…but it never disappears.
Three years later, a late-night swim practice awakens something buried beneath the water. As fear spreads through the team, guilt and betrayal rise to the surface. The rules are brutal, the curse unforgiving, and survival demands more than strength. It demands reckoning.
Relentless and atmospheric, Suffocation transforms competitive pressure into full-blown horror. This is a chilling descent into shame, silence, and the deadly cost of looking away.
