This is HOT

From the creators of "Judas Kiss" comes "The Dark Place," a fast-paced mystery-thriller, starring Blaise Embry ("Arizona Sky"), Timo Descamps ("Judas Kiss") and Sean Paul Lockhart ("Judas Kiss"). Long estranged from his widowed mother, Keegan Dark (Blaise Embry) is blessed with the uncanny ability to remember his life in video-graphic detail. This is both a blessing and a curse, keeping him at odds with his family and loved ones.

Returning home with his boyfriend in tow to make amends with his mother, he's shocked to discover she has remarried. His family now includes a step-father and step-brother -- and Keegan quickly surmises they aren't up to any good.

His investigation into their past is derailed when his mother drops into a coma, his boyfriend seemingly leaves him, and the town's sheriff targets him as the most likely culprit. With allies scarce and time running out, Keegan must fight --and use his remarkable mind -- to unravel the secrets that threaten to destroy him.

"The Dark Place" is 89 minutes, is unrated and is on sale at WolfeVideo.com for only $19.95
