HIDDEN DESIRES
By Donovan Barlow

GENRE: Thriller / Suspense, Fantasy
LOGLINE: As a virus ravages the world, a woman is taken to a sealed gothic abbey posing as her twin. Inside a death-defying masquerade, an art exhibit begins exposing desires she never knew she carried.

SYNOPSIS:

Summer Bower has spent her life drowning in fear—haunted by anxiety, depression, and a recurring nightmare where she dies every single time. When a global outbreak kills her parents and shatters what little stability she had, she seeks out her estranged twin sister… only to find her dead by apparent suicide, leaving behind a cryptic journal that reads like a prophecy. But when Summer is mistaken for her twin and abducted, she wakes inside the world described in the journal—a place her sister died trying to escape. Parks Manor, a breathtaking gothic abbey turned isolated fortress, is ruled by a nepotist billionaire, Preston Parks, a brilliant yet odd gothic artist, whose newest creation, Hidden Desires, fuses music, light, and science to draw out the darkest impulses buried within each guest. The elite residents celebrate their supposed victory over death inside this immersive spectacle, even as something unseen stalks the abbey’s candlelit halls, growing closer with every disclosure. Forced to impersonate her sister behind a mask, Summer is pulled into a dangerous world where indulgence disguises corruption, temptation fuels obsession, and survival demands she uncover which desires are truly hers—and which ones are hunting her.
