It’s well known that once a serial killer gets into his stride he’s unlikely to stop, until he’s caught or he dies. But what if re-incarnation is real? What if a serial killer can’t be stopped? Ever?
Parasomnia is now in development with a leading UK producer
SERIES OVERVIEW
Parasomnia is a compelling returnable drama set against the rich landscape of Edinburgh and the surrounding countyryside. When Scottish university psychiatrist EVE DRUMMOND (29) starts treating sleep-deprived client AIDAN MOIR (28) he seems to be suffering from a rare parasomnia – a chronic nightmare disorder with an unusual feature – he can’t remember the nightmares.
Using Eve’s relaxation techniques, Aidan starts to recall flashes of his dreams – disturbing images of blood and dismemberment. When Eve hypnotises him, an apparently different personality introduces himself – super-confident CARL.
