Synopsis/Details
Death Whispers follows Dr. Elias Morrow, a dedicated caregiver working in the challenging environment of Black Hollow Prison, where he faces the harsh realities of providing end-of-life care to dying inmates. His compassionate approach is tested by the sinister atmosphere that surrounds him and the supernatural forces lurking within the prison walls. The narrative unfolds in a series of chilling vignettes that interweave the experiences of dying patients, particularly the ethereal transition of Mrs. Willoughby, who hints at unresolved mysteries during her final moments. As Elias grapples with the spectral echoes of his patients, he becomes increasingly aware of an ominous presence that feeds on fear and death. His attempts to offer comfort are consistently interrupted by disturbing visions and cryptic messages from both patients and the malevolent entity, referred to as Y'Shaleth. Amidst a backdrop of psychological turmoil spurred by past traumas, Elias's interactions with his nurse colleague Mara intensify in emotional complexity. They share a bond as they navigate their grief and vulnerability, but the line between love and horror blurs when Mara becomes entangled with the dark forces plaguing both Elias and the prison. Their relationship frays as they confront the ghastly ramifications of Elias’s work and the chilling history tied to the entity they face. The screenplay intricately weaves together themes of sacrifice, guilt, and the struggle against malevolence; culminating in a haunting ritual that tests both heroes' resolves and souls. As Elias attempts to save Mara from the very darkness he has inadvertently unleashed, tensions reach a fever pitch, leading to violent encounters and a battle for survival against supernatural horrors. Ultimately, Death Whispers culminates in a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the creeping dread of mortality, leaving audiences questioning the boundaries of life and death while underscoring the haunting power of unresolved connections. The story's resolution echoes with ambiguity, encapsulated in a quiet moment where hope flickers through despair, inviting reflection on the unseen threads that bind us to both the living and the dead.

The Writer: Gary Rose

I’m an optioned screenwriter who, in a previous life, served as a police detective, mastering the delicate art of negotiating hostage situations. Retirement led me down a different path—teaching and writing—a journey that began with my first non-fiction book, which became an Amazon best-seller. That success ignited my passion for storytelling and introduced the world to my indomitable protagonist, FBI agent Jeannie Loomis. Believing that the ends justify the means, Jeannie has become the heart of a gripping 16-novel thriller series. My historical fiction script The Beautiful Beast was selected as a quarter-finalist in the 2025 PAGE competition. The Phantom Train script was selected in 2024… Go to bio
