The Latent Image

Thriller writer Ben, struggling for inspiration, retreats to an isolated rural cabin to start on his latest novel and to escape the growing tension with his boyfriend Jamie. Working late into the night, he wakes to find a wounded man in the cabin, claiming to be a hunter whose car had broken down nearby. Intrigued and attracted to the mysterious and handsome intruder, Ben decides to secretly use him as inspiration for the antagonist in his new book, about a savage murder believed to have taken place in the very cabin he has rented. As the man begins to help him enact increasingly dangerous and detailed scenarios for the story's captive protagonist, Ben becomes aroused by the prospects but finds himself rebuffed by a homophobic slur. Searching the man's car, he uncovers stolen property belonging to several other young men hinting he may be a serial killer, a perfect twist for Ben's novel. Discovering his own car sabotaged, and unable to escape, Ben enters a lethal game of cat and mouse. But it's only when the fate of Ben's boyfriend Jamie is revealed that Ben's dark, erotic fantasy becomes a stark, inescapable reality.
