IN THE BLOOD
By David W. Keffer

GENRE: Thriller
LOGLINE:

After a college student experiences episodic blackouts, paranoia sets in that he is a serial killer - like his father - without even realizing it, and must fight to stop the killings at all costs before the woman he loves becomes the next victim.

SYNOPSIS:

After a series of episodic blackouts, college student Ethan Chancellor needs to learn more about his family history to help his diagnosis. The young man finds out that he is adopted and that his mother gave him up after she was raped. What's more, Ethan's biological father was a serial killer and now Ethan is terrified that he follows in his father's footsteps, unwittingly. Ethan's best friend, Mike, and his roommate, Xiomarra, try to help keep him level as the blackouts begin to coincide with a series of murders around campus. Despite his new exercise regimen and abstinence from alcohol, Ethan still loses track of time and his actions as his stress levels rise - working an unpaid internship, a part-time job, and going to classes. Ethan's behavior becomes more erratic after meeting his biological mother and finding more and more things in common with his biological father. Ethan must fight with everything he has to save both his sanity and the woman with whom he is falling in love.
