-------------------------------------------

SNOWBLIND is written in the vein of MYSTIC RIVER. Set in the New Jersey suburbs, it tells the story of a journalist, haunted by repressed memories, who investigates a murder that may uncover the truth about his traumatic childhood, but he quickly discovers he shares a decades-old secret with a killer eager to bury the past.

The story braids together the past and present, so as the journalist investigates, we also watch unfold the 1975 story of his younger self, his adventures with a gang of friends, his relationship with the neighborhood outcast, and the ill-fated snow day when he discovers the body of a murdered child. As we see his younger self race through the snow to escape the child-killer, the journalist struggles to collect his returning memories into an expose’ that will reveal the killer’s identity. But when his wife is kidnapped in reprisal, both past and present story lines collide, and a dark truth about journalist himself emerges. Now, in order to save his wife, he must confront the killer and his own past in a way he never expected.

Audiences will be fascinated by the way SNOWBLIND weaves together universal themes of trust, betrayal and atonement in a complex human drama. Its fractured structure and unique "slipstream" style of presentation is a fresh and entertaining device that builds mystery, suspense, and explosive thrills as it explores the nature of memory.
