Raw Nerve

In the humid heat of Mobile, Alabama, a city that clings to its Southern charm while shadows linger in its alleyways, a restless tension pulses beneath everyday life. The streets hum with the roar of engines and the low murmur of whispered fear, setting a stage where reality seems to thicken and slip away. It is a place where the ordinary and the nightmarish brush together, creating a mood that feels both sultry and foreboding, inviting the audience to wonder what lurks just out of sight.

At the centre of this uneasy atmosphere is Jimmy Clayton, a talented race‑car driver whose promising career is eclipsed by terrifying, mind‑shattering visions that haunt his waking hours. The images gnaw at his sanity, pulling him into a personal nightmare that feels as relentless as the roar of his own engine. Desperate for answers, he turns to the local authorities, only to find his warnings met with disbelief and suspicion, thrusting him into a precarious position where he must confront the darkness within and without.

Enter Gloria Freedman, a determined investigative reporter whose reputation for digging deeper than the headlines has earned her both respect and wariness. As the ex‑spouse of a seasoned police lieutenant, she navigates a complex web of professional and personal ties, driven by a fierce need to uncover the truth behind the unsettling events that grip the city. Her tenacity leads her into Jimmy’s orbit, where their uneasy alliance becomes a conduit for exploring the unseen forces at play.

Meanwhile, Lt. Bruce Ellis and his superior, Captain Gavin, embody the institutional response to the growing unease—a mix of procedural rigor and lingering doubt. Their interactions with Jimmy and Gloria hint at a larger, ambiguous struggle between order and chaos, leaving the audience to sense that the true source of the madness may be as much a product of the city’s own hidden cracks as it is of any single individual.
