FIVE PAST MIDNIGHT

After serving five years in prison, Novakaine “Kaine” Beaumont, named for his ability to numb his emotions like the anesthetic, re-enters society with a hardened interior and deep-rooted issues due to a lifetime of abandonment. His turbulent past leaves him opposed to commitment, making him a dedicated bachelor. One night, just five minutes past midnight, Nova “Kaine” engages in an insignificant one-night stand, only to later discover the woman is more connected to his life than he realizes. What starts as a brief encounter spirals into a dangerous obsession as she becomes addicted, driven from the desperate need of passion and attention that she lacks at home. Her infatuation turns into a deadly pursuit, as she stops at all odds attempting to win his love by any means necessary. As Novakaine navigates the drama surrounding his life, he must confront his own issues of trust and abandonment while trying to flee from the dangerous grip of a woman whose obsession becomes deadly. Five Past Midnight is intense. It’s a moment where time itself will become a character, marking the haunting echo of a ticking clock.
