Seeds

by Bruce Kaplan

Sentence:
Terror stalks a peaceful seaside town -- does a strange little boy hold the key?

Blurb/Logline:
The corpses pile up as an unspeakable terror stalks a quiet seaside town.  Does a strange child hold the secret behind death, blackmail, and corruption?  Gripping, non-stop horror from start to finish.

Synopsis:
Set partly in Hong Kong, partly in Australia, Seeds is a tale of punishment and redemption.

When writer Michael Baird arrives in town for rest and relaxation after suffering a personal trauma, he walks into a nightmare that goes from bad to worse.  Soon, he finds his sanity hanging by a thread.  Against his doctor's advice, he launches an investigation into strange happenings and quickly concludes that the town is in the grip of greed, murder, corruption and blackmail – and perhaps something beyond this world.

Amid the carnage, Michael finds love.  But can it survive when all else around him is failing?  And what about the strange little boy and his friends?  Are they the key that can unlock the truth behind the horror?
