Cold Case (Youtube Project)
Project Overview
Cold Case is a tense and gripping crime thriller that follows Jonathan Maguire, an American police officer who has been wrongfully framed for a series of murders he did not commit. Forced to flee the United States in 2008, Maguire goes into hiding across Germany and various other European countries, evading both law enforcement and those who seek to silence him. As he navigates this dangerous life on the run, he is driven by one purpose: to expose the truth behind the murders and clear his name.
The case becomes more complex as Maguire uncovers a chilling connection to Haruka, a highly skilled and elusive female murderer who has left a trail of victims across Europe. With each step closer to Haruka, Maguire unravels a dark conspiracy that ties his wrongful conviction to her series of brutal killings. As the investigation intensifies, Maguire must confront not only the law closing in on him but also the psychological toll of being both a fugitive and a man determined to bring justice to those responsible for his downfall.
Caught in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, Cold Case is a relentless pursuit of truth, redemption, and survival, where every clue could bring Maguire closer to his nemesis—and the ultimate revelation that may change everything.

A passionate speaker on topics that ignite her interest, she can engage others with thought-provoking discussions, masking her manipulative nature behind an appearance of genuine curiosity and insight.
Her dual nature—part compassionate helper, part cold-blooded killer, driven by an unyielding desire for both retribution and a form of redemption that may never come.
