Cleaner

In a near‑future where technology can scrub memories and erase physical evidence, a quiet, clandestine industry has emerged to clean up what the world wishes to forget. Professionals known as “cleaners” move through opulent homes and shadowed alleys, wiping away blood, fingerprints and even the lingering scent of trauma, allowing the powerful to rewrite the narrative of their lives. The tone is sleek and clinical, yet threaded with an undercurrent of unease, as every immaculate surface hints at the darkness it conceals.

_ Tom Cutler_ is a former police officer who trades his badge for a mop and a set of precise chemicals. Eight years after a devastating home invasion that claimed his wife and left his daughter haunted, he has built a solitary existence around his meticulous work, finding in it a way to keep his grief at arm’s length. Though he has retired from the force, his keen eye for detail and instinct for investigation never truly faded; they simply wait, quiet, for a reason to surface again.

When a new assignment brings him to an elegant mansion that has just experienced a violent incident, the routine job begins to feel like a puzzle with pieces that don’t quite fit. The mansion’s polished rooms and the calm demeanor of its owners provide a stark contrast to the lingering sense that something deeper is at play. As Tom methodically catalogs and neutralizes the scene, the sterile act of cleaning awakens a dormant curiosity, nudging him toward questions that the surface refuses to answer.

The film moves with a measured, tension‑laden rhythm, blending the quiet austerity of a forensic procedure with the pulse of a looming conspiracy. It invites the audience to wonder how far one can truly cleanse a world where truth can be scrubbed away, and whether a man haunted by loss can find redemption—or further danger—within the very act of erasing the past.
