Pitch Poster

Synopsis

Ethan Rohner, a quiet, introverted phone salesman has grown up his whole life knowing that he was different from everyone else. His mind always filled with negative thoughts regarding himself, society and his fellow man, Ethan lives life in an endless critque of all things less-than-prefect, harboring silent contempt for all those he meets and the society that cast him aside and callusly labeled him a nobody. His pain and hatred escalate into delusions as Ethan begins to see himself as being separate from all other people, isolated and alone in a world where nobody cares. Ethan watches our world, oberving, searching, and carefully planning.

Ethan's descent begins abruptly when our world encroaches on his in the form of a violent altercation in an alley behind a local bar that becomes deadly. With blood on his hands, Ethan breaks, allowing his world to become his reality, a reality in which life means little and no selfish and dark desires are off-limits, a reality of pain and murder.
