SYNOPSIS

EVE is a young girl raised by an abusive, extremist father and submissive, calculating mother. They are part of a trailer community that travels the fringe of society with a cult like council controlling the families. Eve’s mother sees no way out of her relationship and ends it by committing a murder suicide, leaving Eve to be raised by the community. This experience desensitizes Eve to trauma and she no longer registers its existence. She has become numb to her feelings.

18 years later, Eve has escaped the community to a big city and she uses the experiences of her past to manipulate recruits to her own cult. Preying on abandoned youth drawn to the attention she gives them, Eve has several young men convinced that she is the savior returned to earth and they are angels from heaven. She says they were granted life on earth to experience its beauty and hardship before it is destroyed in the apocalypse. Eve tells her recruits that angels take human life, and as angels they must be numb to human suffering to carry out their task.

Eve and her followers leave the city to go on a trip to bring another ‘angel’ into the fold. The recruit will have to carry out Eve’s instruction to kill to prove he is worthy of returning to heaven as an angel. They come across a group of local campers in a national park and Eve lures them further into the forest describing a beautiful paradise far off the beaten track. As they travel deeper into the wild, the local group suspects foul play when one of the girls goes missing. In the meantime, a friend of the locals has been trying to catch up and re-unite with his ex girlfriend among them. He is our hope as the campers get further and further from civilization. When the locals finally confront Eve, all hell breaks loose as her angels try to put an end to the dissension.

ONE will keep you on the edge of your seat as we are lead into the ever-increasing suspenseful interactions of the characters. We are drawn into their lives and pulled further and further from the structure and security of society. Set in a natural paradise, this is a story about the ability to manipulate religion to immoral ends. As the characters fight to salvage their existence from the chaos of misguided youth, we are swept into a circle of madness that perpetuates itself and spins out of control. We are left praying for it to stop and the innocent to be saved.
