SWITCH
He remembers dying.
Now he wants revenge.
What if the past you remember... was never yours? Vivaan survives a traumatic brain injury, only to find his mind fracturing, splitting between his clinical reality and the chilling consciousness of a slaughtered snake.
A Nightmare Carved in Memory
"What if the past you remember… was never yours?"
After a traumatic brain injury, Vivaan, a young man begins to exhibit violent behavior and claims that he was murdered in a past life as a snake. What starts as a bizarre delusion quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. He identifies a family as his killers. And begins hunting them.
As doctors struggle to diagnose him and his family turns to both science and faith, Vivaan's reality fractures, splitting between who he is… and who he believes he used to be.
With each failed attempt at revenge, the question deepens: Is Vivaan remembering something real, or constructing a truth he desperately needs to believe?
How far will Vivaan go to settle a vengeance that may not even be his?
