(gay psychological horror/suspense thriller) The frantic search for his missing boyfriend through the eastern coastal townships becomes a nightmare for a young gay man after checking into a rural Bed and Breakfast run by two middle-aged sisters - with one is a sexual predator and has bodies buried on the property.

SYNOPSIS:

SYNOPSIS: (suspense thriller/psychological horror- fall season) A gas station in northern New Brunswick is the last known place BOBBY CONNOR (27, gay) was at. From there his loving sister CINDY (34), his religious and anti-gay mother BETTY (60), and out boyfriend JEFF (23) pair up and begin their frantic search through the small, coastal towns and villages. According to the police the likeliest possibilities are Bobby fell asleep at the wheel, or he’s deliberately disappeared. When Jeff first arrives from Toronto his first night stay is at JUNE’S BED AND BREAKFAST, run by JUNE (66) and sister NORMA (64). June tells Jeff, Bobby didn’t stay there as she was away for the week and the place was closed for business. But June later finds evidence that Bobby had stayed overnight while she was away for the week. She has in past suspected Norma of taking guest in while she’s away. June’s suspicion of Norma and Norma’s resentment towards her will cost June her life.

We find out what Norma’s been up to when Jeff checks back into June’s B&B for the night, before flying back to Toronto for work in the morning - even with Bobby’s whereabouts still unknown. By night’s end Jeff is Norma’s prey. As it turns out Norma is a sexual predator and has bodies buried on the property - including Bobby. Will Jeff meet the same fate?

Cindy and her mother continue their search for Bobby. When Cindy finds out Jeff didn’t make his morning flight, the first place she goes to is June’s Bed and Breakfast. After her strange encounter with Norma, Cindy leaves sensing something is not right there. She reports her encounter to the Officer in charge of the case but he’s no help.

Jeff finds out Norma is a sexual predator and Bobby was a victim to her passion and buried on the B&B ground – along with a few others. Norma doesn’t hate men. She likes sex. Her only opportunity to satisfy her desire is when June’s away and she takes men in. She drugs them, they wake up strapped to the bed, their mouths sewn shut, and she has her way sexually with them. She can’t let them go because they will report her to the police. She has no choice but to murder them –in the most pleasurable way for both him and her of course. Will Jeff survive? The game changer for Norma and Jeff comes when Norma finds out Jeff and Bobby are gay. She never suspected. How was she to know?

Even though the police don’t believe her, Cindy’s gut feeling says answers to Jeff and Bobby’s whereabouts lie at the B&B. She returns to the house twice more. The first time she leaves feeling threatened. The second time, she finds Jeff still alive and she has a near death experience with Norma, but mother rushes in on time and saves the day.

Norma’s evil deeds are exposed with several bodies buried on the property and their burnt out vehicles in a nearby forgotten rock quarry
