ORIGIN STORY
A woman wakes from a coma to find herself in prison with no memory of who…or what she is. The vicious attack that almost killed her erased all that she was. But not what she did.
Her name is Elyse Tyson.
And she’s a serial killer.
Or at least she was.
Believing her amnesia to be a ploy to gain sympathy during her upcoming trial, the prison staff disregards her. Their disdain leaves Elyse vulnerable to those seeking to finish what they started. Another inmate is targeting Elyse and will stop at nothing to see her dead. And it’s only a matter of time before the court seals her fate.
Unable to accept the accusations against her, Elyse is shocked to learn her case is open and shut. Her own taped confessions remove any hope of escaping this nightmare. The only option left is to agree to be studied by Doctor Steve Bennett, a psychologist who specializes in psychopaths, to prove she is no longer a threat and avoid the death penalty. But as the study progresses, it becomes clear there’s more to her story than anyone knew. Desperate for anything that could save her, Elyse searches for answers…even if it means losing herself again.

ORIGIN STORY
(Film Adaptation)
You've read the book... are you ready to see it on the big screen?
"A strong start to a psychological thriller with some elements of action and horror in it, beginning with an enticing hook into the story that maintains a steady momentum all the way through. It tackles some difficult questions surrounding psychopathy and morality, presenting a vulnerable main character who’s in a desperate struggle for survival only to learn she committed some of the worst crimes one can commit, exploring themes of redemption and identity. The concept has strong potential in drawing in a large audience, and the script itself is attuned to its own genre, delivering thrills and tension. The budget is mostly manageable, too, as the plot is mostly set within the prison, but there are a few scenes that feature copious violence and some stunt choreography."
