F Marry Kill

In the crisp, tech‑savvy backdrop of Boulder, Colorado, Eva Vaugh finds herself at a crossroads as she reaches her 30th birthday. A devoted follower of true‑crime podcasts, Eva is both fascinated and uneasy about the dark corners of modern life, especially when those corners begin to intersect with her own. Her recent breakup with Jake, a police officer, leaves her restless, and her close‑knit circle of friends—Kelly, Robin, and Anthony—push her toward a fresh start in the world of swipe‑right romance.

The film paints the dating‑app scene as a luminous, slightly absurd arena where hope and anxiety mingle over glassy screens. Valerie, Eva’s protective older sister, tries to keep the chaos at bay with a newly installed home‑security system, underscoring the blend of modern safety tech and lingering family worries. As Eva crafts a new profile, she reconnects with Kyle, a familiar face from middle school, and meets Mitch, a charismatic bar owner whose easy charm hints at deeper mysteries. Meanwhile, Norman, a conscientious security‑company employee with a budding interest in forensics, adds an unexpected layer of intrigue to her burgeoning social life.

All the while, the relentless hum of a true‑crime podcast provides a haunting soundtrack, its host dissecting a series of unsettling killings that seem oddly tied to the very apps Eva is exploring. The tone balances witty banter with an undercurrent of dread, letting the audience feel both the excitement of new connections and the shiver of potential danger. As Eva navigates dates, friendships, and family advice, she can’t shake the sense that each swipe might bring her closer to a truth far stranger than any episode she’s ever heard.

The story thrives on curiosity, prompting Eva—and the viewer—to wonder whether the digital world’s promise of love can coexist with the shadows that linger just beyond the screen.
