WHY THIS WORKS
A subway murder, a buried grief, and a Blood Moon ticking down to one night.
• High-concept hook: forensic realism collides with occult rules—science vs. ritual.
• Personal engine: the case echoes Paul’s wife’s murder, so every clue is emotionally loaded.
• Built-in ticking clock: the approaching Blood Moon drives momentum and escalation to an inevitable night.
• Two-hander chemistry: skeptical investigator + witch-bloodline ally = friction, danger, and shifting power.
• Cinematic, producible setting: Boston’s subway and night streets deliver atmosphere and dread without requiring heavy VFX.
• Franchise runway: mythology and antagonists can expand naturally—new cases, new rites, new bloodlines, bigger stakes.
WORLD & TONE
• Occult Boston: a modern city with old shadows—subway tunnels, back streets, forgotten spaces, and hidden ritual sites.
• Grounded investigation: procedural clues and forensic logic… until the evidence stops behaving like the natural world.
• Ritual horror, not fantasy: sigils, offerings, and rules-based magic that feels dangerous and specific.
• Atmosphere-first: cold nights, flickering fluorescents, steam, rain, and deep pockets of darkness beneath the city.
• Escalation to the Blood Moon: the supernatural pressure increases in clear stages as the night approaches.
• Tone: tense, gritty, and emotionally driven—dread with momentum, ending in a full-throttle occult climax.
KEY CHARACTERS
A skeptic with a wound, a witch with a bloodline, and a necromancer chasing the Blood Moon.
PAUL KENDALL
Former forensic toxicologist • hard skeptic • driven by an unsolved loss
• Dismisses the occult until Anna forces him to face the specifics of his wife’s murder—and what really killed her.
• Becomes the human “anchor” in a world of rituals, bloodlines, and Blood Moon math.
• Protective instinct kicks in—he steps between Anna and Collins when things go violent.
ISAAC COLLINS
Ancient necromancer • blood-ritual strategist • endgame: the Great Gate
• Blood Moon = his ascension window: he plans to open the Great Gate at peak lunar hour.
• Kendall is a nuisance. Anna is the prize—the last link in a bloodline he needs.
• Operates as a reality-warping threat in his domain: weapons stripped, physics bent, power absolute.
ANNA COLLINS
Witch-bloodline descendant • keeper-level power • steel under pressure
• Keeper of the Black Flame—ancestral lineage with real ability.
• The mission is personal: Collins wants her bloodline broken; she wants him buried.
• Strategic, not airy—she maps Boston by ritual requirements and pushes the fight to the enemy.
• Accompanied by Onyx, her guardian lynx.
DENNIS
Boston cop • Kendall’s trusted ally • grounded “street reality”
• Paul’s connection to the official investigation—and the guy who can open doors, pull reports, and warn him when the case turns.
• Doesn’t believe in magic, but believes in Paul—and follows the evidence until it gets dangerous.
• The line that keeps the story anchored in procedure while the occult escalates.
THE HOOK / STORY ENGINE
THE HOOK
A former forensic toxicologist is pulled into a brutal Boston subway murder—and the evidence carries occult signatures that echo his wife’s unsolved death. When a witch-bloodline ally confirms the pattern is real, the case becomes a race to stop a necromancer’s Blood Moon ritual before it opens a gateway between worlds.
WHAT HE DISCOVERS
• The murder scene isn’t random—it’s ritual work with repeatable symbols and rules.
• His wife’s case wasn’t “cold”—it was part of the same occult system.
• Anna’s bloodline is directly tied to what the necromancer needs to finish the rite.
• The closer they get, the more the city itself starts to feel compromised—people, places, and evidence.
WHAT ESCALATES
• The killings intensify as the Blood Moon approaches—each act feeding the final opening.
• The investigation shifts from solving a crime to surviving an enemy who can bend reality in his territory.
• Kendall becomes leverage, then target—forced to choose between truth and protection.
• The endgame locks to one night: stop the ritual, or the veil tears open.
