In a country where football is religion and the playoffs are sacred, one man’s obsession spirals into something far darker than fandom.

Jake Harlan was just another die-hard Steel City Renegades fan, until one bad call shattered more than a parlay bet. It destroyed his custody battle, his savings, and his grip on reality. Convinced the game was rigged and the referee was in on it, Jake sets out to uncover the truth… and ends up orchestrating a nightmare of his own making.

What begins as a desperate quest for justice descends into a fevered spiral of kidnapping, conspiracy theories, and murder. Fueled by internet echo chambers and a father’s wounded pride, Jake’s descent is swift, brutal, and disturbingly relatable. But as his lies spread across social media and the public casts him as both villain and folk hero, Jake is forced to confront the horrifying cost of his delusions.

FOUL PLAY is a claustrophobic psychological thriller about the violence of obsession, the dangers of viral narrative, and the ruin that comes when love curdles into vengeance. It’s a harrowing look at a man who confused punishment for purpose, and paid with everything he had left.

The line between justice and madness was always thinner than it looked. Jake Harlan crossed it, and there's no coming back.
