Phantom Cheers | ONC 2025

Two weeks ago, Alex's best friend, Niki died in a tragic accident. But death hasn't stopped Niki from haunting Alex's every waking moment, demanding she complete her unfinished bucket list.

Alex has spent years being the confident cheerleader, the perfect girlfriend, the girl who has it all. But Niki's list is about to turn her life upside down.

At first, it seems simple enough, just a few final wishes to honor Niki's memory. But then there's the last item.

As Alex crosses items off the list, cracks begin to form in the perfect life she's built. Soon, she's skipping school, spiraling in class, and questioning everything.

By the time the list is complete, Alex will have to face the truth: Is she just a side character in someone else's story, or is it time to rewrite her own?
