DEADLY SEVEN: Synopsis

DEADLY SEVEN is a Gothic and Psychological Thriller based on seven characters, who each represent a deadly sin. Amanda Burke, the psychologist, explores the deadly sins through her seven clients, who she believes need to be punished due to her God-like complex. Once she realizes that it is impossible to put an end to their madness, Amanda decides to lead some of her clients toward their deaths. Relationships are developed and overlap between the characters throughout the screenplay, eventually leading to the psychologist herself developing emotions for one of her female clients. Her homosexual desires, which were suppressed, are eventually revealed. The core idea of DEADLY SEVEN is that obsession (sin) ultimately leads one to destruction (death).
