DEADDASH: "Like many struggling actors in Hollywood, Sean makes ends meet by spending his nights driving for a popular food delivery app. After receiving a phone call from his roommate, Sean decides to end his night with one final delivery from a local burger joint, where he is informed by the creepy, but seemingly harmless cashier that his customer has requested he drop the food off inside the house. Brushing this ominous exchange off, Sean arrives at the customer’s house in the Hollywood Hills, where he quickly realizes he’s stumbled right into a trap, and that this delivery may very well be his last."
