D.O.A.

• Mystery
• Thriller

A literature professor’s life unravels with shocking speed in this neo-noir thriller, as Dexter Cornell investigates his own impending death from an unknown toxin – a death that seemingly initiates a chain of connected murders. Unlike traditional whodunits, *D.O.A.* plunges viewers into a desperate, frantic race against time, mirroring the professor’s deteriorating condition, rather than a methodical investigation. Driven by both a primal will to survive and a haunting curiosity about the conspiracy surrounding him, Dexter finds an unlikely ally in a perceptive student, forging a fragile connection amidst the accelerating chaos. The film’s unsettling tone isn't focused on suspenseful scares, but the creeping dread of a vanishing life, and the unsettling realization that intellectual pursuits offer no protection against calculated malice.
