WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE

WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE
By Douglas King

GENRE: Action
LOGLINE:

After escaping from an asylum for the criminally insane, a woman meets a mysterious man only to discover he is a serial killer and each decides to kill the other, fighting for survival in one very long night. 

SYNOPSIS:

Rheagan Thomas doesn’t believe she’s crazy. In her mind, her actions are justifiable. A judge and the doctor at the hospital for the criminally insane have a different opinion.

Rheagan escapes from the hospital, killing an overly friendly orderly, then, while on the run, killing another overly friendly (read, “creepy dude giving off a rapey vibe”) gas station attendant before settling into a roadside diner. Here she encounters Atticus, a hipster with a dark secret. The two quickly escalate their serendipitous meeting with a roll between the sheets. Post-coitus, they reveal their intentions for each other: he is a serial killer who plans to “cull” her and she will do anything to protect herself and her civil liberties.

So, while physically attracted to each other, the two are hell-bent on murder. Unfortunately, a number of innocent bystanders are caught in the middle of Rheagan and Atticus’ battle royale, and the body count grows as the intensity of the two’s attraction and their desire to kill each other intensifies.

When Worlds Collide, is a darkly comedic, allegorical tale of the divisive politics of today. Rheagan represents extreme conservative views, while Atticus represents extreme liberal views. They find they are not as dissimilar as they think, but that doesn’t stop them from trying to kill each other.
