SYNOPSIS: Following news of a terrifying and deadly outbreak that’s spreading like wildfire and turning its victims into frenzied, animalistic beings hellbent on self-destruction, Jay and his daughter, played by his own daughter Olivia Kang, search for somewhere to hide from the chaos consuming the city.
Desperate to protect his daughter from the horrific virus known as “The Itch,” they take refuge in a seemingly safe convenience store. But the supposed sanctuary quickly descends into a nightmarish trap, where the true danger lurks among the people trapped inside.
With the infection closing in and paranoia escalating within the group, Jay and his daughter are forced into a harrowing battle, not just against the outside world and the rapidly spreading disease, but against the darkness within human hearts when survival is on the line. With every decision a life-or-death choice, they must confront their fractured bond and make brutal choices to stay alive, leading to an unimaginable climax that questions what it truly means to protect those we love.
Catch Itch! on April 21st, a deadly and devastating new chiller you’ll be itching to tell your friends about.
