DESTROYING ANGEL

Kelly Thrones is a serial murderer; she just  doesn’t know it yet.  

She has killed six people by the time the FBI arrests her.  They have all of the evidence against her.  Fingerprints, DNA, and video proof of her leaving the latest murder scene.  Kelly does not remember any of this and she passes a lie detector test.

FBI agent Malachi Powers has trouble believing his own evidence.  It all points to Kelly, but she doesn't fit any known the profile and she doesn' have a motive.

Then the unthinkable happens: while in lock-up, Kelly kills an inmate. Now Kelly suspects she is possessed.


Agent Powers discovers that each victim was not a random, average, citizen.  Kelly, it seems, has a unique talent.  She is able to track down killers and then put them down. Kelly is shocked by this new turn.  

Agent Powers decides to give Kelly a test without her knowledge. While in a trance, she leaves the prison.  Powers and his team follow her to a truck stop where Kelly confronts a truck driver. The FBI arrives and search the truck driver's cab and discover a dead girl.


Now the FBI no longer wants to prosecute Kelly.   They want to hire her.

Kelly wants to be free of this entity possessing her. She communicates with the rogue angel and using all of her sales skills she strikes the deal of her life. The angel leaves.    

Agent Powers also offers Kelly deal: her freedom if she will help bring down Dillon Crompton, an arsonist who has been setting bigger and bigger fires.

Kelly agrees and heads into the Blue Jay Nuclear Power plant to stop a killer alone.
