THE BURN is the story of monozygotic twins. These twins are
|
||
|
|
able to communicate with each other by means of telepathy.
|
||
|
|
They are also gifted with telekinetic abilities. Their names
|
||
|
|
are Jeffrey and Jonathan. Jonathan is the antagonist.
|
||
|
|
Jonathan is an invalid who is filled with bitterness. In his
|
||
|
|
earlier years, Jonathan was molested and is now seeking revenge
|
||
|
|
not only against those who have harmed him but against anyone
|
||
|
|
who considers standing in his way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Jeffrey, who is a confused individual and in trouble with the
|
||
|
|
law, suddenly sees the light and begins to change his ways.
|
||
|
|
But his brother Jonathan will not allow him to do it. He begins
|
||
|
|
to manipulate Jeffrey, controlling his thoughts and his will.
|
||
|
|
A mysterious murder takes place in a Youth Centre and Jeffrey
|
||
|
|
suddenly falls under suspicion. What follows is another
|
||
|
|
suspicious death, one believed to be caused by spontaneous
|
||
|
|
human combustion. The Police don't buy this story and it looks
|
||
|
|
like Jeffrey will be spending the rest of his days in jail if
|
||
|
|
someone doesn't hurry and absolve him from blame.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Our protagonists are Leona Hampton, the mother of the two boys,
|
||
|
|
and her boyfriend, Dan Tobias. Together they seek out the real
|
||
|
|
perp involved, do anything to prove Jeffrey innocent of all charges.
|
||
|
|
It is not long before it is discovered that not only is Jeffrey
|
||
|
|
being manipulated by his brother, but also another boy by the
|
||
|
|
name of Kevin Kellogg.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It soon develops into a battle of the minds. If Jeffrey and
|
||
|
|
Kevin fall victim to Jonathan's will, there'll be more deaths,
|
||
|
|
more people destroyed by being set on fire. Jonathan is angry.
|
||
|
|
Jonathan will get even. Jonathan will continue to kill unless
|
||
|
|
he's stopped.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Leona and Dan, along with Jeffrey, eventually overcome the evil.
|
||
|
|
But not before several people pay the ultimate price.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
THE BURN is the story of a family overcoming colossal troubles

||
|
