The Executioner's Dream (Film, Book, Soundtrack)

Elias Thorne is the most efficient executioner in the state—a man defined by his detachment and his steady hand. For twenty years, he has viewed himself as a necessary cog in the machine of justice, never once questioning the files placed on his desk. But as the scheduled execution of a high-profile inmate approaches, Elias’s reality begins to fracture.

During the final checks of the electric chair, Elias experiences a violent psychic rupture. He doesn't just see the inmate; he inhabits him. Through a series of vivid, terrifying "dreams" while wide awake, Elias enters the prisoner's memories, feeling the weight of a life he never lived and seeing the crime scene through eyes that didn't commit the act.

As the clock ticks down to midnight, Elias becomes a prisoner in his own mind, haunted by the sensory proof of the man’s innocence. Caught between his duty to the state and the undeniable truth of the soul he is tasked to destroy, Elias must risk his own life and sanity to stop the machinery of death before he becomes the very murderer he spent his life punishing.
