Call Screening (2022)

Another day on the 'Mike on the Mic' talk radio show on FN 2187, Michael(lead) is having another day at the station. After a few, not so kind calls, he takes a break to take a call from his daughter(Sabrina). She asks Michael if she can have some money transferred to her account to go to the movies with her friends after they're done at the mall. With the break coming to an end, Michael tells her yes and tells her goodbye to get back to the talk show. Starting off the show with another, not so fabulous call, begins to receive some strange messages from one of Sabrina's friends(Ariel). Reading Ariel's messages begins to make Michael nervous after seeing a name he's not familiar with asks Rebecca(his producer) to take over control of the last few minutes of the show. As Michael is leaving the booth, he stops in his tracks as he hears a name that shouldn't bring any suspicion until now. Hearing the newest and last caller to the show reveal to Rebecca that her name is Kris(Antagonist). Hearing this, Michael speeds back to his booth to talk with Kris. Trying to play it cool for now, he tries to host the show as normal until Kris slips. Letting Michael know right away that she has his daughter in the backseat of her car. Michael, panicking, begins to try and begs for his daughters life. Kris is just toying with Michael, but it looks to be coming to a happy ending when Kris agrees to let Sabrina go. Michael, rejoicing, states that his 'kids' are all that matter to him. Kris, noticing this, realizes that she has stumbled into a goldmine. Jumping right onto this opportunity, begins to barter with Michael for Marcus'(son) life. As Michael and Kris argue, the line goes dead. Panicking, Michael tries to reach back to Kris before snapping out of it and calling his son just to receive an altered voicemail. A voicemail with the voice of Kris. Life doesn't always end with a happy ending.
