After a murder at Bishop's Fish & Game leaves a gold hoop and a video trail behind, Cat Bell must prove who is using identity, gambling debt, and restaurant loyalty to frame her before the freezer becomes her future.

SYNOPSIS:

CATFISH opens inside the walk-in freezer at Bishop's Fish & Game, where a man named Deacon is zip-tied to a hand dolly among boxes of frozen catfish, crushed ice, dice, and blood. We do not see the killer's face. We see a phone recording, a gold hoop earring with an L scratched inside, and the kind of staged message meant to tell everyone what happens when the house gets shorted.

Catrina "Cat" Bell works at the restaurant, wears the uniform like armor, and knows Bishop's Fish & Game is more than a food spot. The killing drags her into gambling money, restaurant loyalty, false identity, online deception, and a community ready to pick the easiest suspect. Cat has to follow the video trail, the dice, the hoop, and the people using her name before police, family, and the killer all settle on the same lie. CATFISH is a contained crime thriller about identity games, debt, and the violence hiding inside a neighborhood business.
