The Killer Within

Action/Adventure

Lynn Taylor

A diverse group of seven people takes shelter in the abandoned confines of an old cotton plantation, with an infamous past, as a powerful hurricane sweeps over the eastern seaboard. Each person found themselves at that moment in time through many varying paths. They quickly find out the relic house’s reputation is more than just old tales as they become imprisoned within the walls by what can only be described as supernatural means.

Tempers flare after there is an unexplained death causing a fracture of the short-lived unity and alliances to start forming. Each character questions themselves and one another, unsure of who can be trusted. Everyone believes there is a murderer in their midst and no one is safe. Despite their differences, they come to find out they all have one thing in common; someone in their lives had died under suspicious circumstances.

Events take a turn for the worse as the supernatural occurrences begin to increase in frequency and severity. Hallucinations, visions, and possible premonitions afflicting each character start disintegrating their perception of what is real and what is imaginary. Each person struggles with their own sanity as their mental tether to reality starts to fray. The line between past and present becomes obscured, bleeding together into an incoherent blur.

As the body count continues to grow, the veil between them and the afterlife seems to grow thinner as the inhabitants from each side find their way into the other. With each death, the survivors continually ask themselves who is the killer within the group and what lengths they are willing to go to ensure their own survival.
