MERRYVILLE
By Gerald Browning

GENRE: Drama
LOGLINE: An irresistible, pill-popping young narcissist seduces then dangerously manipulates a small town gay mechanic and the mechanic’s ex-girlfriend, unexpectedly falling for both; when they reject him, his perfect world shatters and obsessive love turns into drug-fueled sexual rage.

SYNOPSIS:

Mark relishes the irresistible sexual power he holds over others to get money and the drugs he takes daily. In small town Sperryville, he skillfully insinuates himself into the complacent lives of a former couple, gay mechanic Quinn and stunningly beautiful bartender Keeley, and easily develops intimate relationships with both. As Mark’s dangerous fascination with their lives becomes obsession, he discovers they hold a lingering love for one another and the desire for a perfect world where they could “work it out.” Mark decides to give them, and himself, the perfect world; he drugs them and draws them into a night of uninhibited, drug-fueled, sexual exploration. Days later, after they’ve rejected his delusional idea of perfection, Mark unleashes a sexual fury on both. The resulting, perilous, confrontation threatens to destroy all three of them and challenges their notion of what it means to love.
