Prey of the Predator

“I’m afraid I’m going to hurt Natalie like I did my other girlfriends. I love her. I do not want to hurt her.”
“I don’t understand, Joshua. What did you do to your other girlfriends?”
“I killed them.”

With those three words, Tyra Wells, newly licensed mental health counselor, is sent on a journey where nothing will be what it seems, a journey that will have her questioning her career choice, her responsibility to her client, and her own moral code. Tyra Wells is fresh out of graduate school. Her father Tyler and her sister Tiffany have sacrificed much so that she can realize her dream of becoming a licensed mental health counselor. They have even managed to get her an office where she can start her own private practice. However, when patients do not come flocking to her door, she gets discouraged and decides to take a nap on her office couch. When she awakens, a strange man is smelling her hair. Startled, she jumps up and asks him what he is doing. He tells her he is there to see the doctor. Thus, Tyra Wells is introduced to her very first client, Joshua Denser. When Joshua explains that he is there because he doesn’t want to hurt Natalie Hayes, a girl he loves, Tyra finds out his chilling secret. He confesses to murdering five past girlfriends. Throughout the next four sessions, Joshua recounts how and why he killed these five women. In each case, the relationship starts innocently enough, but soon they each blank him with a love so suffocating that he must rid himself of them – permanently. He takes their bodies to an abandoned warehouse, where he dumps them in the boiler room. Tyra begins to have nightmare after nightmare about these girls, the warehouse and Joshua Denser until she is brought to the point where she believes that she must confide in her best friend, and new boyfriend, Jake Hollander and her sister Tiffany. After Tyra is able to get Joshua to give her directions to the warehouse, she goes there with Jake to find the abandoned bodies of Joshua’s victims. What she finds when she enters the boiler room shocks her to the core of her being and leads to an ultimate showdown with Joshua Denser. Yet, that is only the beginning. More shocking surprises are in store for her as she finds out the truth about Joshua Denser and his new girlfriend Natalie Hayes and explores her own budding romance with Jake Hollander, the boy who has been her best friend since she was in third grade.
