Synopsis
Ragged Claws is an intimate, character-driven drama exploring the psychological workings of obsession.
Henry, an ambitious chef grappling with the impending collapse of his restaurant, becomes consumed by his mounting failure, alienating those he loves and spiraling into despair. His girlfriend Maggie is caught in the crossfire and must decide between his demands for sacrifice and her own musical aspirations.
Meanwhile, Henry’s former business partner, Dan, now thriving at a rival restaurant, remains a haunting presence in his life—a reminder of what could have been.
Their relationship, tangled in bitter rivalry and tragic friendship, forces Henry to confront the cost of his ambition. But when success clashes with loyalty, is it possible to hold onto both?
