Synopsis/Details: 

Allison Jayne, a rising Christian music star, suffers under the iron rule of her father, mega-church pastor Eustace Thornton. Allison's idol, Jezebel, the most successful female recording star in the world, reinvigorates her creative spirit every few years at an unknown location in Iceland. Listening to the voices in her dreams, Allison flees to Iceland to fulfill her heart's desire.

Simultaneously, maverick archaeologist Peter Williams lands on the foreboding shores of the island as well, pursuing a dream of a different kind. Williams has staked his career on a far-fetched theory: that the legendary Lost Ninth Roman Legion was sent on a mission by Julius Caesar himself to the end of the known world to dispose of something so terrible, the leader of the Roman exile had it banished to the ends of the known earth.

As Allison finds a mentor who helps her tap into her potential, Peter traces ancient clues to the end of his quest. But lurking in the shadows is an evil that has lain dormant for two thousand years ... an evil that seeks to consume the soul of every person on earth.

Can an unlikely pair of dreamers find their strength, and defeat the horror that has lurked in the frozen wastes for centuries?

Don Stroud's picture

The Writer: Don Stroud

Hailing from the wilds of North Carolina, I spent my formative years making my own comic books and toys. After a lengthy career in the software industry, I decided to dust off my artistic dreams and get back to creating. I became an editor in Hollywood, working on low-budget horror movies and award-winning documentaries. But after time spent playing with other peoples' toys, I decided to craft my own, and transfer the stories in my head to the written page. Over the last several years I have dedicated my energies towards screenwriting, producing some award-winning original screenplays in the process. My goal is to sit in a darkened theater and see my work up on the big screen. Go to bio
