The Mutilated

JAKE REED (25) is a cynical slacker with a sharp tongue and a buried sense of guilt. Forced into the dark heart of an exploitative human exhibit, Jake’s sardonic detachment is stripped away as he’s drawn into a brutal battle for survival. Beneath his swagger lies a man wrestling with past cowardice — and a desperate need to finally stand for something. His journey is one of brutal reckoning and unexpected heroism. 

DARIA JIAO (27) is a brilliant cultural expert caught between heritage and ambition. Drawn into an exploitative cadaver exhibit, she struggles to balance her academic detachment with ancestral roots. As horrors unfold, Daria must rediscover the belief and community she once rejected. Fiercely intelligent yet conflicted, her arc is about reclaiming identity, courage, and unexpected defiance when the dead demand justice.
