The Gift

A provocative story of desire, secrecy, and the unexpected consequences of well-intentioned gestures.

In the glossy suburb of Brookside, a spouse is away on a work trip to Crestview, leaving the home quiet and still. Seeking to surprise their partner, they hire a sex worker as a “gift,” who arrives unannounced one evening. What begins as an unusual gesture quickly tests boundaries, trust, and intimacy. The night unfolds with tension, revelation, and the complicated dynamics of consent and expectation, forcing all involved to confront both desire and the unforeseen consequences of their choices.
