Nocturne(2026)

Nocturne follows two tracks at once: ex-soldier Jonah Lynn trying to hold a quiet life together in a new town, and his FBI agent daughter Saga hunting the serial killer who has made that life impossible. The split structure keeps the threat from serial killer Jurek Walter concrete rather than atmospheric, because every lead Saga follows and every move Walter makes lands directly on people Jonah is trying to shield.

Jonah's soldier past is the friction point the whole story turns on. He left Philadelphia and whatever violence came with it, but protecting his family from Walter means reaching back into exactly the person he was trying not to be anymore. That gap between who he is now and what the situation demands of him runs underneath every scene where Saga closes in on the killer while Jonah holds the perimeter at home.
