THE BOY NEXT DOOR is the 2009 Grand Prize Winner in the Thriller/Horror category at the Screenplay Festival Screenwriting Contest. It was also a finalist in the All Access Screenwriting Competition.

A young adult version of Kiss the Girls meets CSI:Crime Scene Investigation with bits of Fear along with a This Boy’s Life beginning and a Usual Suspects-esque finale.

“When the hunter becomes the hunted.” A young deranged predator preys on local college girls but realizes that his only match is a seasoned police detective, who’s haunted by the unsolved case of a 10-year-old girl who was kidnapped years ago by the same killer.

The Boy Next Door chronicles the mindset of a brilliant, diabolical serial killer from the unlikely vantage point of his innocent, abusive childhood to committing a heinous crime as an awkward yet gifted teenager to an aspiring medical student to becoming a deceptive, calculating serial killer obsessed with forensic science. Using his boyish good looks and charm, Nathan preys on local college girls that resemble his first love. He methodically alters and manipulates the crimes scenes to send the police on a wild goose chase. He realizes that his only match is Les Kearns, a seasoned detective assigned to the murders. Kearns is still haunted by an unsolved case of a missing 10-year-old girl that Nathan kidnapped a decade earlier. Can the deceptive killer continue his reign of terror? Or will Kearns finally catch the boy that’s been tormenting him for over a decade...
