FILM ONE: BLACK VEIL
PLOT:
After three assassinations are carried out in her name, Sydney Veil is forced out of hiding to clear her name — and finds the network she escaped now labeling her as a liability.

She erases it… but saves the file.
Cut to black. Title card: “To stop them, I’ll become what they fear.”
FILM TWO: BLACK VEIL: BLOOD PRAYER

• Poisoned dinner at a cult-like compound in Iceland

Remy is captured. Eira betrays the Labyrinth to save them both.
ENDING:
Sydney kills Darwin Shaw — but finds out he was only one head of the Hydra.
Valentina warns her: the Labyrinth is bigger than anyone knew.
Sydney releases the Prayer Wall online — a digital reckoning.
FILM THREE: BLACK VEIL: LAST BREATH
PLOT:
With the Labyrinth exposed and fractured, assassins across the world begin turning on each other. Sydney becomes the final target — every surviving killer is now hunting her for the bounty.

Years later, a new target is found dead.
A black veil rests on the body.
Sydney lives — or someone’s carrying on the myth.
