THE DOOR AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS
By Alison Holt

GENRE: Other
LOGLINE: A young ex-cop on the verge of a psychotic break takes a job at a Virginia horse farm where a retired psychologist and her reluctant partner help turn the repressed memories of the young woman's brutal kidnapping and torture into a triumph over human depravity.

SYNOPSIS:

Undercover narcotics officer, Jesse Shaunessy, is kidnapped and tortured, then thrown away by her department as damaged goods. The mind is a powerful ally, and 26-year-old Jesse has no memory of the abduction or the subsequent torture. Inevitably, as Jesse drifts from one itinerant job to another, the protective walls carefully constructed by her subconscious are beginning to crumble. Fate lands her on a farm owned by Dr. Ryland Caldwell, a retired psychologist and her partner, Morgan Davis, the master of the Myrena Fox Hunt club. Ryland suspects there is more to Jesse’s foul temper than meets the eye. When Morgan and Ryland accidentally discover vicious scars on Jesse’s back, Ryland knows that without their help, Jesse’s descent into insanity will rapidly overwhelm them all.
