Description
Lights Out is a dark stalker rom-com told in alternating viewpoints between Aly, a hardened ER trauma nurse running on adrenaline and burnout, and Josh, a brilliant cybersecurity expert hiding behind a masked online persona. Aly’s coping mechanism after brutal shifts is scrolling thirst traps—especially one creator, “the.faceless.man,” whose videos blend menace and desire. When a video seems to be filmed in Aly’s own bedroom, the boundary between fantasy and reality shatters.
Josh’s secret fascination with Aly escalates into illegal obsession: hacking, surveillance, and a carefully staged break-in meant to test whether Aly wants what she claims online. Instead of a clean thrill, it triggers fear, rage, and a charged negotiation of consent and control. As their connection deepens, a real-world threat forces them into an extreme, irreversible choice—one that entangles them with wealth, corruption, and a dangerous family network. The romance builds through escalating kink, emotional vulnerability, and the question: can love survive when it begins as a violation?
