Doctor X

In rain‑slicked New York, a city that never truly sleeps, an uneasy calm slips off the streets each night when the full moon climbs high. Shadows stretch between towering skyscrapers and narrow alleys, and the ordinary pulse of newspaper deadlines collides with a lingering sense of unease. The metropolis feels both classic noir and modern thriller, its neon glow reflecting on puddles that hint at secrets lurking just out of sight.

Lee Taylor, a quick‑tongued reporter for the Daily World, is drawn into the mystery by a series of unsettling rumors that ripple through the city’s underbelly. His sharp wit masks a relentless curiosity, and he soon finds himself following a trail that leads from the newspaper office into the austere corridors of a prestigious medical academy. There, Dr. Jerry Xavier heads a team of researchers whose scientific pursuits have taken on an obsession of their own, a quest to expose a phantom known only as the Moon Killer. The clash between Taylor’s instinctive, street‑wise journalism and Xavier’s methodical, lab‑bound investigation creates a tense partnership that teeters between collaboration and rivalry.

Adding another layer of intrigue is Joanne Xavier, the doctor’s guarded daughter, whose own doubts about her father’s work make her both a reluctant ally and a source of inner conflict. The film’s tone balances dark, atmospheric dread with razor‑sharp humor, allowing the audience to feel the electric charge of a city on the brink while watching characters navigate a world where science, secrecy, and sensational headlines intersect. As the moon wanes and the city holds its breath, the stage is set for a cerebral chase that tests the limits of curiosity, ambition, and the fragile line between truth and terror.
