Heartseeker
HESTIA (Grace Yoo), a single woman with a passion for cooking, uses the popular dating app “Heartseeker”, to meet HAROLD (Koji Niiya), a thriving entrepreneur. The two hit it off, and eventually make their way back to Hestia’s apartment. But unknown to either party, both harbor secrets and ulterior motives that will have deadly consequences for the rest of the night — and one of them isn’t leaving alive.
