Burns Like A Shot (2026)

Brilliant but guarded scientist Bianca faces a personal crisis when her best friend and roommate Kelly accidentally drinks an experimental truth serum Bianca developed. As the compound takes hold, Kelly becomes incapable of filtering her thoughts — voicing every suppressed opinion, secret resentment, and unspoken feeling she's ever had about their friendship, their lives, and each other. With the serum's effects temporary but escalating, Bianca must navigate a minefield of radical honesty while racing to synthesize an antidote before their relationship is permanently altered by truths neither was ready to hear.

The film unfolds in real time across a single afternoon, transforming their apartment into a pressure cooker where every conversation becomes a potential detonation. As Kelly's unfiltered revelations cut deeper, Bianca confronts the uncomfortable reality that her own silence has been just as destructive as Kelly's newfound candor.
