Knife Edge

Synopsis

Blissfully happy in her new marriage, Emma gives up a successful career on Wall Street to return to England and give her six-year-old son a new life. After moving into an impressive mansion outside London, Emma finds out that she is pregnant again. Everything seems to be perfect. But soon, Emma begins feeling uneasy. When left alone, the house seems to be speaking to her in strange voices. Emma’s dream of a perfect life starts turning into a nightmare. Despite her pleas for help, her husband grows more and more distant. Alarmed by a series of strange and terrifying happenings, Emma is convinced that the key to unlocking Parkside’s secret lies deep in the woods. She starts to act less and less rationally, and the once ‘in control’ Emma turns into a paranoid shadow of her former self. She has to discover that the truth of Parkside Lodge rests not in its past or future, but in the terrifying present.

In The Cut-Throat World Of Fashion, Beauty Is The Beast. Someone is killing the beautiful people. Four supermodels have been slaughtered and mutilated in the last few weeks. Meanwhile, in the wild world of Manhattan’s fashion jungle, a new face is getting everyone’s attention - BASIA, a young beauty with a mysterious past, has caught the eye of both the establishment and the underground. JAKE, a hip young mix-DJ whose star is on the rise, is falling in love with her. DANNY, the hottest fashion photographer in New York, wants her too – for complicated reasons. DESIREE, boho-punk documentarian, feels Basia is a vital element of her new verite movie. And HAMISH, an all-but-burnt-out homicide Cop, has some questions for her. While the killings continue, while the city lives in fear, Basia is drawn into the whirlwind of neo-stardom and begins to lose sight of who she really is. All along, in teasing, taunting flashes, Basia’s repressed memories have been surfacing – tortured, confused memories of orphanhood and abuse - A pattern of abuse that has both buried her memories and awoken an ancient genetic pattern, dormant for generations. Basia’s bloodline is very old. Now, trapped in his apartment studio, Basia discovers to her horror that Danny is the serial killer. And she is to be his next victim... Yet, when Desiree breaks into the studio moments later, it is Danny who is dead. Ripped to pieces as if by some rampaging beast. And Basia is nowhere to be seen. And finally the secret self within Basia is free – a human/animal hybrid of feline grace, awesome power, terrifying beauty, and a primal urge to kill. Rampaging through New York, killing innocents and evading the police, she ends up in the sewers, surrounded and protected by the giant cats that have escaped the circus to join their new Empress. Somewhere within the Beast, Beauty is screaming. Only Jake can help her now. Only love can pull the trigger.
