BLOOD MOON OF TULUM

BLOOD MOON OF TULUM
By Cassandra Betancourt

GENRE: Horror
LOGLINE:

To bury her estranged grandfather, a famous model returns to her ancestral birthplace and works with a local priest to investigate the gruesome animal attacks that have her hometown living in fear.

SYNOPSIS:

BLOOD MOON OF TULUM A detached model, LUNA, seemingly has it all – beauty, wealth, and fans. But, behind the public façade of her luxurious lifestyle, she's an orphan haunted by an absence of identity and family. When she receives word from a priest that her estranged great-grandfather in Mexico has died mysteriously, Luna hopes to close this familial void. She leaves all she knows behind and departs to her ancestral home of Tulum, Mexico.

In Tulum, Luna visits her great-grandfather's body to pay her respects, but shockingly, she finds Wolf Bones in his place. There, she meets Father Cortes, where she senses that he is hiding something. During Luna's hunt for the truth, she is confronted by local Sheriff Guillermo, who threatens her to leave Tulum or else. These encounters make her believe there was foul play in her great-grandfather's death. Animal attacks and whispers of cursed bloodlines push her out of her comfort zone. There is more waiting for her than lost kin. Someone or something doesn't want her to find the answers, and she is nearly killed.

Frightened, Luna decides to leave, but Cortes gives her an heirloom, a mystical Totem. Dark secrets are revealed as she learns that her grandfather's wolf pack is being murdered, and the Totem allows her to shapeshift at will. This cursed legacy is what Luna's biological mother was trying to safeguard her from. Luna's time in Mexico puts her at odds with her comfortable life in the States… as her management team pressures her to return. Luna must embrace who she is and race against time to defeat the rival pack leader, Guillermo, during the Blood Moon. Mortal and primal fury collide as Luna goes against her mother's wishes and chooses to resurrect her family's cursed legacy to defeat a corrupt one. Will destiny or doom seal her fate?
