JUNKIE KILLER

A HIGH SCHOOL REUNION SETS THE STAGE FOR MURDERTwelve years ago, a grisly murder spree was unleashed … one that killed members of the only graduating class to ever be dubbed “cursed.” But not all graduates were targeted ... only those belonging to a secret club called the Circle of 13 were fair game. Five of thirteen members were savagely slaughtered before the murders ended as mysteriously as they began. A killer was never caught, but the carnage was enough to birth an urban legend.It’s under that veil of mystery that bona fide rock star Ethan “Stone” Rivers slips back into his hometown. Once a member of the infamous club, he discounts the red flags waving in a nocturnal breeze. After all, it’s been ten years since the last murder so there’s nothing to fear except rumor and innuendo. Besides, the reunion will provide the perfect venue to reconnect with “the girl that got away”—the one he’s determined to marry. But upon his arrival at the event, he’s surprised when old friend Sia Jenkins pulls him aside and insists that the serial killings aren’t done. She warns that the respite in murders was only a “breather,” and that Ethan’s return is the catalyst for the killings to begin anew. The musician brushes off the bad counsel. After all, Sia is also convinced that Ethan’s best friend Junk was the psycho behind the original crime spree, and that’s an impossibility. Junk died of a fatal drug overdose before the last murder occurred and dead is dead. Dead people can’t rise from the grave …. or wield knives, but she refuses to listen to reason.It’s not long before the shocking news of a new victim warps the musician’s narrow view and puts Ethan on a collision course with the truth. Enlisting the help of a reporter, the two take the first step of proving Junk dead. But the investigation of what was categorized a “suicide” only exposes horrific dark secrets that include stints at a psychiatric hospital and ties to black magic and sorcery. More killings heighten the tension as Ethan struggles to find a solution to the new crime wave, but it’s the numerous sightings of Junk around town that are the most disturbing. If true, they would either prove that Junk never died … or that he was resurrected.Written by W.
