A Flaw in the Design

Gil, a creative writing professor in a quiet Vermont town, is forced to take in his seventeen-year-old nephew, Matthew, after the boy's wealthy parents die in a mysterious car crash. Gil and his wife are deeply uneasy; years ago, Matthew nearly killed their young daughter, causing a long family estrangement.

Now, Matthew is not only living under their roof but has also enrolled in Gil's writing class, where he begins submitting chilling stories detailing the deaths of Gil's family. As the boundary between fiction and reality blurs, Gil realizes he must act before his nephew's dark fantasies come to life.
