BROKEN PAST

Broken Past follows Max, a young man haunted by the shadows of a troubled and precarious past. As he strives to build a new, peaceful life, a haunting question hangs heavy in the air: can he truly break free from what he once was, or will his past return to shatter the future he's so desperately trying to create?
