Old money casts its net of deceit to trap the corruptible

“Somebody call Quentin Tarantino–
there’s a movie to be made!”
“The only thing more twisted than Michael Whalen’s relationship with is sister Mary, is the FBI’s pursuit of what happened to Marie D’Alessio, a mystery that stops at no financial or societal borders.”

For fetish-driven, emotionally conflicted, Michael Whalen normal relationships never materialize. His unnatural obsession with his sister Mary positions her as a psychological puppeteer–leaving him trapped in a world of his own making. While she successfully uses the men in her life as toys for her perverse pleasures, Mary becomes vexed and jealous when Michael’s attention strays to other women. Fearing the loss of her brother’s affection, Mary plots revenge on the interlopers. Harvesting souls is nothing but sport for Mary causing her to fall prey to her own obsessions.
When women in suburban Philadelphia start to disappear or turn up dead, the FBI’s interest in a decade long trail of missing women ignites. The two local detectives assigned to the investigation soon find themselves saddled with a pair of feds; one with a supernatural ability to stop bad guys in their tracks. One of the missing women is Michael Whalen’s on again off again love, Marie D’Alessio. In a herculean effort to unshackle himself from his sister’s emotional bonds Michael becomes tangled in a net of manipulation, murder, human trafficking and corruption. Power and money bait the trap. Soon, they all find themselves drowning in a pit of “old money” covered with the stench of decay and abused societal privilege.
Eight lives are on a collision course; each tainted by their own twisted version of right and wrong.
