Synopsis/Details
In this half-hour series, a fired teacher decides to set up shop as an investigator of odd and unusual problems. In this pilot, her client comes home to find his wife missing, their child naked and in shock in the tub, and something deadly living in their house's drains.
The creature, they surmise, is something that got into the home's septic tank when it was last pumped, and has grown into a murderous thing to survive in its bacteria-laden home.
They are able to coax it out of the tank with some raw hamburger. It is tall, strong, and quick. Their plan to easily and reluctantly kill it falls apart until Milly is able to run the thing through with a pitchfork from the garden shed.
NOTE: This series is being produced for audio. I have written five other scripts.
