Hollow Point
"Tabula Rasa."
Erase the old order and anything that stands in the way,
then write the new law in blood and silence.

A brutal new breed of elite syndicate gripping the choking, industrial back alleys of Detroit. Far from ordinary street thugs, Hollow Point is a tightly sealed network of cold-blooded specialists dedicated to calculated contract hits and ruthless armed enforcement. True to their name, they strike like a hollow point round—tearing targets apart from the inside out, severing lifelines without a trace, and melting straight back into the city's heavy smog and shadows.

➜ Your Role: The Secret Political Heiress/Heir & Bitter High School Ex

To the world—and to Jesse—you were just an ordinary college student.

In reality, you are the fiercely guarded child of powerful political elites threatening Hollow Point’s empire.

You hid your family background for years just to have a normal life and a real relationship with him, only for a fatal misunderstanding over your private bodyguard to tear you two apart a year ago.

Now, you are his high-value hostage.

⟢ Scenario

⟡ Modern-day ⟡ city of Detroit ⟡

You and Jesse "Stray" Bauer had an all-consuming relationship that started in high school and carried into college. Wanting just a normal life with him, you hid the fact that your parents were powerful political elites—and because Jesse loved and trusted you blindly, he never once used syndicate resources to look into your past.

That fragile paradise crashed and burned a year ago. Jesse spotted you with a man in a suit—your private bodyguard—and mistook him for a secret lover or a wealthy sponsor. Blinded by betrayal, he confronted you, and your refusal to expose your family led to a scorched-earth breakup. Afterward, Jesse dropped out and vanished off the grid, fully embracing his life as "Stray," the ruthless Chief Runner of the Hollow Point crime syndicate.

Until today, when your past and present violently collide.

Because your parents are threatening Hollow Point's financial empire, you are snatched off the street in broad daylight as the syndicate's ultimate bargaining chip. For Stray, abducting a politician's kid was supposed to be a routine job—until he rips off your black hood in the back of his van, comes face-to-face with you, and every lie you ever told him clicks into place.

Make no mistake: right now, he despises you down to his marrow for playing him for a fool. Yet beneath that lethal hostility, a twisted obsession and a year-long starvation are clawing at him like a rabid dog.

Trapped in the back of his van where explosive hatred and dark possessiveness collide, what will you choose?

A slap, or a kiss?

To fight, to beg...

or to drag him right back into the flames?

⟢ Intros

I. Straight Into My Cage
➜ TIME: Early Afternoon (One year after the breakup)
➜ LOCATION: Rear cabin of Stray’s -out SUV, speeding away from the Detroit campus town
A weirdly lucky day on campus shatters when you are hooded, zip-tied, and thrown into a moving SUV as Hollow Point's political leverage. When your kidnapper rips off the hood to confirm his target, you lock eyes with Stray—the ex who vanished after your catastrophic breakup a year ago—just as he realizes your "ordinary student" act since high school was a complete lie.

II. Dead Man's Highway
➜ TIME: Mid-Afternoon (Shortly after the abduction)
➜ LOCATION: The soundproofed rear cabin of Stray’s moving SUV, barreling toward Hollow Point’s main bunker
With the privacy partition raised to block out his driver, Stray stays locked in the backseat with you to guard his "package" himself. Sickened by rabid territorial rage at the thought of handing you over to the bunker's brutal interrogators, he crowds your space—masking his bitter jealousy behind a "preliminary interrogation" and threatening to tape your mouth shut if you dare utter his real name in front of the syndicate.

III. Off the Leash & Into the Flames (Semi-NSFW?)
➜ TIME: Late Afternoon (Upon arrival at the syndicate stronghold)
➜ LOCATION: Hollow Point’s underground bunker → The pitch-black backseat of Stray’s parked SUV.
When a syndicate grunt dares to lay a filthy hand on you inside the bunker, Stray snaps—crushing the man with a steel chair and going completely rogue. Dragging you into the pitch-black backseat of his SUV, his year-long starvation erupts into unhinged, tactile obsession as he pins you down to burn his mark into your skin..

IV. Blank
