Control Freak

In the competitive world of motivational speaking, where personal image and emotional control are everything, a successful speaker sees her life unravel due to a condition as inexplicable as it is disturbing: an incessant itch on her head that gives her no peace. What begins as a minor annoyance soon transforms into a physical and psychological nightmare, leading her to question her health, her sanity… and her very identity.

After exhausting medical treatments and alternative therapies with no results, the protagonist begins to experience visions, unsettling dreams, and sensations she cannot rationally explain. In a desperate attempt to find answers, she decides to return to her roots—to that remote and forgotten place she fled from years ago in search of a new life. There, among fragmented memories and familial silences, she uncovers a chilling truth: what she suffers from is not an illness, but an ancestral curse.

A parasitic demon, tied to ancient legends from her homeland, has awakened within her. This demonic entity feeds not only on her body but on her success, her vital energy, and her ability to inspire others. In a terrifying twist, the woman realizes that with every motivational speech she gives, she is unknowingly spreading the demon’s influence to her audience—like a spiritual virus.
