Synopsis: Two Shots is a dark psychological short set almost entirely inside a car on a quiet, isolated road. After Jess shoots her abusive boyfriend during a violent confrontation, she and her close friend Tara sit in shock as his body lies wrapped in a tarp in the back. As they argue over calling the police or fleeing, buried truths of long-term abuse and fear surface. When they finally agree on a way forward, a chilling revelation turns the night into a nightmare — the man may still be alive, and the gun is with him.
