Tom Hanniger returned to his hometown after years away, haunted by the mining accident that changed everything. On the surface, he appears quiet, tense, and withdrawn a man trying to outrun trauma.

But beneath that calm exterior lurks something fractured.

The legend of Harry Warden the miner who murdered on Valentine’s Day with a pickaxe while wearing full mining gear was supposed to be just that. A legend.

Tom isn’t sure anymore where the story ends and he begins.

He struggles with memory gaps, dissociation, and flashes of violent imagery. He avoids crowds. Avoids celebrations. Avoids reminders of the mine.

But something inside him wakes up when certain triggers hit especially Valentine imagery, sirens, darkness, or emotional betrayal.
