Summary: A youngdetectivewho experiences blackoutsmustnotonly figure out his
own mental problemsbutalso solvea murderwhich hold the city in fear.
Full Storyline:
The trailer opens as a young man is sprinting through the woods. We can hear his heart racing and twigs
snapping beneath his feet as he breaks through low hanging branches. Dr Casey begins her session with
Aaron, asking him what the problem is to which he responds with his explanation of having blackouts that
causes him to have temporary memory loss. This scene bridges to a voiceover that plays throughout the
whole trailer, where we hear what he has been going through and the fear he has because of it. Through
the remainder of the trailer we see Aaron dividing his time between finding a cure for his blackouts and
finding the murderer. Many characters interact with Aaron throughout the trailer, his therapist Dr Casey,
his friend Mia and his co-worker Noah, all under suspicion as potential suspects due to the fact that they
are not able to tell Aaron where they were on the night the murders occurred. Tension is built in the
trailer as scenes are shown of Aaron fighting his way through a gang of attackers and battling other
obstacles. The killer looks directly at the camera, dressed in all black with a glow in the dark white mask.
The trailer ends with Aaron holding a gun and shooting it at the camera, leaving the audience questioning
whether he was the killer all along.

Target Audience Breakdown:
Due to this film being based on the thriller genre, the demographic we are targeting are males and
females between the ages of 17-25.There is a wide age range due to the appeal and ages of the actors
themselves. The social classes we are targeting are all classes up to the middle class as we believe the
upper class would not be as interested in the storyline as it does not apply to any part of their social lives
or life experiences. We are also targeting all ethnicities.
