Friends reunite at a local movie theatre only to discover something lurking within.

Tom Hornets follows a former forensics photographer haunted by the images of his past, searching for a fresh start but soon entangled with Curtis Dombroski, a ruthless slumlord thriving amid Canada’s collapsing housing system. Set against the backdrop of a widening wealth gap and a culture adrift in apathy and disconnection, the film captures the quiet desperation of those priced out of stability as Tom uncovers the systemic greed and corruption that allow people like Dombroski to prosper, revealing a society where the dream of homeownership has become a haunting illusion.
