Plot
In the heart of New York City, 2000, the Denmark Corporation is shaken by the mysterious death of its CEO. A ghastly apparition, taking the form of the recently deceased mogul, reveals itself to Hamlet, the departed's son. The specter weaves a tale of a chilling assassination, pointing an accusing finger at Claudius — the new corporate head, who is also Hamlet's uncle and newly-wed stepfather. Hamlet is thrust into a vortex of uncertainty, compelled to ascertain the ghost's identity and verify Claudius's alleged crime.
Under the veil of feigned madness, Hamlet bides his time, meticulously crafting a film that mirrors his father's supposed murder, intending to catch Claudius's guilty conscience off guard. As the truth of Claudius's wicked deeds dawns on him, Hamlet finds himself duty-bound to avenge his father's untimely demise.
However, Claudius is no unsuspecting prey. Recognizing Hamlet as a looming threat, he manipulates Ophelia, the apple of Hamlet's eye, into his devious schemes against the young heir. Amidst spiraling conspiracies and relentless pursuit of truth, one question hangs heavy — will the veil of murder be lifted?
