A COMPLETE horror-thriller miniseries.

Army veteran Dave Kelly just wanted to live his dead-end life he found himself in after his military service. Scrape together a few dollars, maybe watch some college football, and try to ignore the depression gnawing away at his mental health. Just try to tolerate a gray existence that felt like Groundhog Day.

Then his life went to hell on Independence Day.

At first, Dave thought that the strange encounters might be residual PTSD. Maybe he hadn't had the right treatment, maybe he needed to join alcoholics anonymous, maybe it was burnout or some other cluster of trauma symptoms the egg-headed doctors hadn't yet named.

But the HATRED kept happening.

People kept mistaking Dave for someone else. It wasn't imposter syndrome, it couldn't be. He knew who he was, what he'd done. God help him, he knew what had happened because of him and no amount of affirmations or growth mindset virtual seminars or cognitive behavioral therapy would help…

They harassed him. Cursed him. Crossed boundaries. Hounded him.

Hurt him.

They did it for different reasons: Revenge. Paranoia. Family tragedy. Betrayal.

But the chief motivation behind it all was simple.

HATRED

They all hated Dave. 

When a grieving tow truck driver, Kurt Cutter, mistakes Dave for the man who killed his daughter, a deadly game of cat-and-mouse ensues. Dave must keep one step ahead of Cutter, all while attempting to unravel the mystery behind the curse that's befallen him. Will Dave complete his investigation, break the curse, and unveil the architect of his agony? Or will a deluded Cutter kill Dave and exact a mistaken revenge?

THE HATRED is a chilling, complete miniseries of psychological horror and supernatural suspense in the vein of Dean Koontz's Intensity or Joe Hill's Heart-Shaped Box.
