BONE APPéTIT

BONE APPéTIT
By Darnay Cockrell

GENRE: Thriller
LOGLINE:

A young man moonlight as a serial killer by killing innocence and selling their skeletons to remain in school.

SYNOPSIS:

After a terrifying prank traps 12-year-old Harper in a clinic alongside a cadaver, his initial fear soon morphs into a twisted fascination. Drawn into the sinister world of H.H. Holmes and fueled by his own experiences with bullying, Harper embarks on a dark journey into the psychology of evil — where curiosity threatens to consume innocence. Harper's obsession leads him to build the "Corpse Castle," an elaborate hideaway fashioned from a barbershop, hotel, and convenience store. Within its walls are hidden rooms connected by chutes that funnel directly to a basement furnace—an infernal crematorium where Harper conducts his macabre work. Meanwhile, Leila Goodman—who moonlights as a reckless young detective—returns after botching her initial investigation and getting fired. Driven by her relentless determination and sharp detective instincts, she begins to close in on Harper. Their inevitable confrontation becomes a tense game of cat and mouse, where Leila’s keen skills threaten to expose Harper’s dark secrets—and perhaps finally put an end to his descent into darkness.
