Like Minds

Synopsis

Seventeen-year-old Alex Bennett is young, privileged and charged with the shotgun death of his schoolmate Nigel Colby. With no tangible evidence, the detective on his case is under pressure from Alex's influential father to have the charges dropped. A forensic psychologist, Sally Rowe, is brought in to determine if Alex is the murderer. Delving deeply into Alex and Nigel's bizarre world of psychopathic mind games and the secret society of the Knights Templar, Sally discovers that though dead, Nigel's psychological effect on Alex is far from diminished. In true 'Gestalt' fashion, two minds may well have become one.
