Scorpion
One man tried to repay a substantial debt. The cost was too steep. Now, everyone will pay the price.
It’s been six months since the Scarecrow killer terrorized the small town of Westminster, Maryland, and Western Maryland College. As life slowly returns to normal, a new terror lurks in the shadows.
At a local supermarket, a middle-aged woman approaches Ryan Thomas and asks if he’s the son of Geoffrey Thomas, the father he lost at the hands of the Scarecrow killer. She’s being pursued and needs his help. Before Ryan can question her, individuals masquerading as government agents apprehend her. As an investigative journalist for the local paper, Ryan’s intuition suggests something amiss surrounding the incident, compelling him to delve deeper.
Ryan’s investigation of this mystery woman uncovers a more ominous secret linked to his father and his father’s business partner, Milton Donner. They have clandestine ties to a West Coast drug cartel, the Scorpion Syndicate.
The depth of this revelation will irrevocably change Ryan’s life and those of his friends, surpassing the magnitude and consequences of the Scarecrow investigation. The implications of his findings could bring forth a previously unimagined level of horror, affecting the recently recovered college and town but also threatening the entire central Maryland area. This leaves Ryan with a momentous decision that demands unimaginable sacrifices to ensure the safety of his friends.
