CRANKBAIT
By Nathan Smith

GENRE: Thriller, Horror
LOGLINE:

When a young man stops in a small town with some car trouble, he finds himself in a more dangerous situation as the locals seek to add him to the menu.

SYNOPSIS:

Sophie (21), has spent her entire life in this small town in the middle of nowhere with an extremely tight community that shares in a large secret. Her mother Kate (50) runs the town bar and restaurant, training Sophie in the many aspects of the job that serve both the business and the community. For years Kate has been seducing and capturing unsuspecting men traveling through town only to slaughter them to help feed their community. Now, as Ryan (35) enters the bar with some car troubles, it's Sophie's turn to reluctantly take over the role for her mother.

Ryan seems like the charming type, certainly not like the cheaters and other guys coming out just looking to have a good time and this makes Sophie second guess not just her role in all of this but the very construct of the town that has been in place for many years.

When Ryan finds himself at the mercy of Sophie and Kate, he persuades Sophie to help him escape from her murderous mother and this crazy town. Wanting a better life for herself, Sophie agrees to help Ryan but when the odds turn against them she has no choice but to side with the town.
