Different Seasons

An unflinching horror story by Jake Bannerman, 2 DIE 4 follows two friends, Kelly and Buck, as a fraternity hazing ritual turns into a real-life nightmare. After a scavenger hunt leads them to a disturbing VHS tape, they soon find themselves entangled in a sinister plot. The tape, which they initially believe to be a snuff film, is tied to a powerful, malevolent entity that feeds on fear and trauma.
As their lives spiral into a deadly game of cat and mouse, Kelly and Buck face off against a rogue FBI agent, Smith, and the murderous frat members who are all desperate to possess the cursed video. They discover that the ritual is part of a dark, long-standing tradition that has been cultivated by a secret government organization, using the entity as a weapon.
After a violent showdown, Kelly becomes the entity's new host, tasked by the organization to continue the "tradition" of controlling the powerful being. He must now decide whether to continue serving the same broken system that sacrificed his friends and peers or become the new, terrifying power, turning the hunt back on those who created it.
