“Most of life is hell. It's filled with failure and loss. People disappoint you. Dreams get shattered. Hearts get broken. Innocent people die. The life we want - we will never get. The truth is, we are for the most part of our lives, unconscious of our misery. What if you have the chance to make things right - will you take it? What if the only right thing to do... is the wrong thing? ENTROPY. Part Mystery. Part Thriller. Part Revenge.” Featuring: Nicholas Pereira & Lawrence Chin, Writer/Director: Fa Abdul
