They thought she was just another troubled child.

Nine-year-old Mei Lin sat in silence, her dark eyes unnervingly steady as her school counselor, Raj Patel, questioned her about the attack. The boy she had assaulted lay in the nurse’s office, his injuries far too severe for a child’s small hands to have inflicted. But she had done it. With precision. With purpose. And when asked why—she only smiled.

When the routine blood test revealed a cocktail of street drugs in her system, the case took a sinister turn. Dr. Emily Prescott, a seasoned clinical mental health counselor, was brought in to assess her. Mei exhibited signs of dissociation, childhood schizophrenia, and substance-induced psychosis. But there was something more. Something unexplainable.

Then came the body in the backyard.

Called in to investigate Mei’s drug exposure, rehabilitation addictions counselor Tasha Reynolds uncovered a horrifying truth—Mei’s parents had been feeding her drugs since she was five. Not to silence her. Not to control her. But to suppress what lurked inside her.

And at the center of it all was Victor Lin—a former serial killer who had never truly stopped.

But his methods had changed. He wasn’t just killing anymore. He was training.

As the three counselors delved deeper into the Lin family’s secrets, they found themselves trapped in a waking nightmare. Victor was watching. Mei was changing. And soon, it became clear that only one person could stop him.

His daughter.

In a final, blood-soaked confrontation, the child they had all feared made a choice. She killed her father, not to become him—but to break free.

The curse had ended. Or so they thought.

Because as Mei was led away in handcuffs, her small hand twitched at her side. And for just a second, beneath the flashing red and blue lights, she smiled again.

The Counselor’s Curse had only just begun.
