About Stricken
Every year, strokes impact over 800,000 Americans. Walter Reed, a night janitor, becomes one of these statistics when he suffers a devastating stroke that leaves him partially paralyzed and dependent on his children, Randy and Melissa.
When Walter’s estranged brother Arthur dies from an apparent stroke, Walter inherits a Gothic Victorian mansion worth millions. The inheritance seems like salvation—until the family discovers Arthur’s death unleashed something ancient and malevolent that had been contained within the estate’s walls.
As Walter recovers in the mansion, his condition becomes a gateway for a parasitic entity that feeds on weakness and vulnerability. The presence doesn’t just threaten Walter—it begins to influence his recovery in ways that put his entire family at risk, especially his vulnerable five-year-old granddaughter Chelsea.
Stricken blends medical drama with supernatural horror, following a family’s fight for survival against both Walter’s debilitating condition and the darkness that exploits it. With his physical limitations making him the perfect vessel, Walter must find strength not in his healing body, but in his love for his family—before the entity claims them all.
In this tale where stroke symptoms become supernatural possession and recovery becomes a race against evil, the greatest battle isn’t against disability, but against losing one’s humanity entirely.
