The Boyfriend – A woman obsessed with her ex’s new partner risks everything.

Sydney Shaw is a 34-year-old New Yorker tired of disastrous dating experiences—until she meets Tom, a handsome, seemingly perfect doctor who rescues her from an awful date. Just as her hopes for love rise, a string of brutal murders targeting women in the city makes her suspicious of Tom.

With detectives—including her ex, Jake—investigating, Sydney starts connecting unsettling dots: Tom uses burner phones, lies about his identity and workplace, and has red flags she can’t ignore. Meanwhile, chapters from Tom’s past reveal a troubled teen shaped by obsession and trauma.

As the tension builds, Sydney discovers that the true killer isn’t Tom—but his past friend Daisy (masquerading as his girlfriend Gretchen), who’s been murdering Tom’s dates out of twisted devotion. In a final chilling twist, Tom and Daisy flee together, leaving Sydney with a chilling token—and proof that the danger isn’t over.

This fast-paced psychological thriller explores modern dating fears, misplaced trust, obsession, and how little we really know about the ones we let in.
