At the very start of the film we are met with sounds and
lights and sounds of modern day sirens from police cars and
ambulances.
There is text on the screen which reads
"Sing Sing Prison parking lot 2023"
EXT. SING SING PRISON PARKING LOT - EARLY EVENING (JUST
BEFORE SUNSET)
Lots Of People there, News Trucks, Police, Fire Department,
Paramedics. Clearly a breaking News Piece. Two detectives
move through the crowd approaching the camera. The first
detective out of the two, leading the investigation was an
older gentleman, black, a bit more relaxed, tired, 'another
case', holding a notepad in his right hand and a Cigarette in
the left. Whereas the second detective is a young, aisan,
female detective who is eager, has a perfectly pressed shirt
and tie really tight.
DETECTIVE 1
Some people may recognise the name
DAISY WHITE. DAISY was a kind and
loving individual to those who knew
her.
DETECTIVE 2
Earlier this week we got an anonymous
call which read.
POLICE OFFICER 2 reads this next part off of an A5 piece of
paper he has in his right hand. As he brings it up to read it
he grabs it with his left hand as well. Bows his head. Brings
it back up and reads.
It is too late. She was good. She done
good. She came to visit me. But I am
no longer there. Don't come looking
for me I am gone too just like her.
You won't find me.
DETECTIVE 1
It is recent news given to us from her
college professors that DAISY WHITE
was studying the work of 1930's serial
killer, and cannibal Hamilton Howard
Fish.
We have DAISY'S COLLEGE PROFESSOR here
now to give us some facts.

College Professor walks on the screen from the right hand
side holding a notepad we can see that they are an older man,
white, well put together holding a piece of paper with
scribbly notes all over it.
COLLEGE PROFESSOR
Hamilton Howard Fish is a,
Cannibalistic Serial Killer from the
1930's. Although FISH was executed by
electric chair in 1936 it is believed
that he still roams the streets of New
York City and the halls of Sing Sing
Prison in Ossining, New York
DETECTIVE 1
It is believed that FISH had become in
body once more to even off his victim
numbers. Taking it from 9 to 10. After
concluding our investigation this
morning we recovered DAISY WHITE'S
body from the cell which FISH spent
his final years at Sing Sing Prison
before his death. It is believed that
she went to visit the place he spent
these last years.
COLLEGE PROFESSOR
On behalf of everyone that knew DAISY
we are deeply saddened by her loss and
wish her safety and love in whatever
is to come next for her.
DETECTIVE 2
Please. Do not visit Sing Sing Prison
in hope to find Hamilton Howard Fish
or DAISY WHITE. They are both dead.
Thank you for tuning in this
afternoon!
EXT.TIMES SQUARE NEW YORK CITY - DAY
DAISY WHITE is walking through the centre of time square
heading back to her small studio apartment situated a couple
blocks away. Walking against the oncoming traffic of people
she bustles through the crowd until she finally reaches the
door of her apartment block.
INT. DAISY WHITE'S SMALL STUDIO APARTMENT - DAY
DAISY walks through the door of her apartment into her small
cluttered Aesthetic Pinterest mood board looking apartment.

As she is walking through the door she drops her coat and
hangs it on a little coat hook which has too many coats on it
next to the door. She moves through the apartment just going
through one room which is the kitchen and living space with
two doors and reaches her bedroom.
INT. DAISY WHITE'S BEDROOM - DAY
As DAISY moves through the small cluttered bedroom which
although it has old coffee cups everywhere it's not messy or
dirty. The bedroom is just very cluttered with lots of stuff,
clothes that make the wardrobe door not be able to slide shut
a clothes rail with too much stuff on it and just notebooks
and other stuff everywhere. Once she reaches her desk and
sits down opening her laptop which is already sat on the
desk.
Opening the laptop she already has her work open on the
screen.
DAISY WHITE
Ah, Fish, oh how I've missed you...
As DAISY opens another page on her laptop we are met with a
picture of HAMILTON HOWARD FISH. DAISY scrolls for a while
through the document and suddenly comes to an abrupt halt.
DAISY WHITE
GHASP!
CAMERA SLOWLY MOVING TOWARDS THE LAPTOP SCREEN INTO THE
PICTURE OF HAMILTON HOWARD FISH.
EXT. TIMES SQUARE 1930 - DAY
DAISY WHITE finds herself in a completely new environment
completely unaware of how she managed to get there she is
still wearing all the same clothes holding the same pen she
was when she reached her desk in her apartment. She is stood
in the middle of the side walk with people bumping into her
but no one saying anything She can barely see the roads but
can hear what it sounds like to be really old engines from
cars that she thinks sound to be at least 100 years old DAISY
has a really confused look on her face at this point.
These people are not wearing what they should be wearing
these men all have tan/ beige trench coats, black suits and
black top hats. The women all have bright red lipstick and
long dress's that flow around the ankles.

DAISY
Where the fuck am I?
Hello, Excuse me? Hello?
As DAISY walks through the street she tries to get someone's
attention but no one is listening to her or even
acknowledging she is even there.
DAISY
(Frustrated)
HELLO! LISTEN TO ME! HELLO!!
HELP ME!
After doing this for another 20 seconds, DAISY eventually
gives in and accepts the fact that no one is going to help
her.
HAMILTON HOWARD FISH (FISH) passes DAISY knocking her with
his shoulder as he walks past her.
FISH
My apologies young lady.
As FISH is apologising he lifts up his top hat folds it out
in front of him and puts it back up on his head. He is also
wearing what most the other men around are wearing. He has a
black suit on with a long tan trench coat.
DAISY
(Confused)
Sorry?
FISH
I just bumped into you, sorry I'm in a
bit of a rush.
FISH then starts to walk away swiftly. However as he gets
roughly 100 Yards away he looks over his shoulder giving
DAISY a re-assuring look.
DAISY receives this look as an invitation to follow him.
DAISY starts to walk in his direction but he continues to
walk away.
DAISY
WAIT!
DAISY shouts as she runs.
FISH takes a sharp left turn down a dark side street and goes

out of frame of all camera angles. DAISY tries to follow him
but as she takes the same turning there is nothing. Just a
stray cat strolling through the middle of the smoke filled
side street.
DAISY decides to go down anyway as she knows that this is the
only way she is going to get away from this place.
DAISY
(Determined)
I have got to find him. Ugh where did
he go?
A black metal door on the side of the left hand abandoned
looking building suddenly flies open.
DAISY
THERE!
DAISY'S pace turn's into more of a jog as she goes to
investigate.
INT. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE
As DAISY walks into the building which has litter everywhere,
the windows are all covered up there is just empty space with
the floor above held up with crumbling concrete columns.
DAISY
Why? Why would someone do this to this
place?
DAISY
(Sarcastic)
It's... B. Beautiful.
As DAISY turns to the right we see a big empty wall that has
been covered in graffiti. The graffiti on the walls wasn't
like she knew graffiti. This was carved into the concrete.
The words are big bold and readable. This isn't just kids
messing around in an abandoned warehouse. This is serious.
DAISY turns and reads the words out loud.
DAISY
You shouldn't be here DAISY WHITE.
DAISY WHITE starts to panic, her face goes pale and her
breathing speeds up.
Sound - Insert faint rapid heart beating

As DAISY turns away from the wall there is a girl stood
across the other side of the room facing the wall. Her
clothes are dirty, her hair is messy and her arms and legs
skin colour don't look healthy.
DAISY
Hey, are you okay?
UNKNOWN YOUNG GIRL
(Whispers)
Run. He's Coming. He'll kill you,
he'll do stuff to you. He... He will
eat you.
DAISY walks toward the YOUNG GIRL despite her telling DAISY
to run.
As DAISY takes careful steps toward the YOUNG GRIRL the light
flickers illuminating a stair case that goes up.
The UNKNOWN YOUNG GIRL points towards the stair case and
shakes her head slowly.
FISH
(Calmly)
Oh, Hello there, what are you doing in
here?
FISH hasn't changed clothes or anything here he is still
wearing a black suit with a long tan trench coat. However his
hat is in his hand at this point
DAISY
I... I was looking for you actually.
FISH starts to move closer towards DAISY.
FISH
Oh? Why were you looking for me?
DAISY
I don't know where I am I don't know
what's happening.
FISH
What do you mean you don't know where
you are? You're in New York City.

DAISY
No I'm not. I live in New York City.
DAISY walks toward a window, grabs the newspaper covering the
window rips it off and throws it to the floor.
DAISY
Look. Over there. That building should
be grey and black with illuminated
billboards on it.
FISH walks towards the window to see what DAISY is pointing
at.
FISH
DAISY WHITE.
DAISY
How do you know my name?
FISH
Lucky Guess. Now, do you know what
year it is?
DAISY
Yes, Of course I'm not stupid.
There is a slight pause with 10 seconds of awkward silence.
FISH
Well? Come on then? What year is it?
DAISY
What? It's 2022.
FISH
(Calm soft creepy smooth voice)
No No sweetheart its 1932.
DIASY takes a moment to try and comprehend what FISH has just
said.
UNKNOWN YOUNG GIRL
(Whispers)
Run. This is what he does.
FISH
BE QUIET, GIRL!
DAISY
I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt.

FISH
Oh no don't be silly, you're fine.
DAISY
I'm confused. I want to go home.
FISH
Okay lets go. I'll walk you home.
DAISY WHITE AND FISH walk outside of the abandoned building
and start walking up the road.
EXT. TIMES SQUARE - DAY
DAISY
This way!
DAISY and FISH walk until they reach DAISY'S apartment
building. DAISY walks inside and goes up to her apartment.
DAISY goes in her apartment and it is exactly how she left
it.
DAISY walks over to the window and looks around.
DAISY
(Confused.)
What the hell? Where is everyone. What
is going on.
DAISY finally accepts that she is home. She goes back outside
and starts walking.
EXT. TIMES SQUARE PRESENT DAY (2022) - DAY
DAISY
Coffee. That's what I need.
DAISY starts walking to a little coffee shop just down the
road of her apartment.
INT. INDEPENDENT COFFEE SHOP - DAY
DAISY walks in to a busy little coffee shop with a similar
vibe to her small apartment. She walks over to the bar and
orders a latte then takes a seat on a bar stool that lines
the windows and stares out of the window until her coffee
arrives. As she looks away to thank the waiter for her coffee
she looks back out the window and at first she thinks she is
imagining things but as she continues to look out the window
the camera pans away from a shot of DAISY's face and focuses

through the crowd on a man. This man is HAMILTON HOWARD FISH.
DAISY
(More and more agitated after
every word.)
Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.
FISH Smiles then walks away and around the corner.
