Synopsis/Details
William DelMackie writes horror films (sorry – thrillers), but is having trouble with his latest project, until he discovers the perfect villain for his story - Victor. But Victor is not content to be a characters in someone else's story. He has other plans, which involve killing William and taking over his life so that he can continue his mission of purging the earth of the Human Species. Like William, Victor is a storyteller. But he wields his 'fictions' with a god-like power that cannot be stopped. No matter what happens, Victor will always survive, by simply inhabiting one body after another.
But with William he finds a kindred spirit, and someone who might actually understand his motives. Stories can be dangerous things. Especially when the mere telling of them makes them real.
