13 Steps
Inspired by true events
Written by Nathan D. Nearman · Contributing writer Lovinder Gill
Industry MaterialsWhen a psychologist investigating a string of inexplicable deaths discovers that the victims are connected to thirteen stone steps descending beneath an abandoned cemetery, she and her estranged sister are drawn into a generations-old curse—and toward a blood moon that may give them one final chance to end it.
Executive Overview
13 Steps is a mythology-driven supernatural horror thriller that begins with an urban legend and steadily reveals something far larger: an evil buried beneath the community of Maltby, a cycle of death spanning generations, and two sisters whose fractured relationship may hold the key to ending it.
At the center of the mystery is an abandoned cemetery and thirteen stone steps descending to a sealed crypt—a place where those who enter are confronted by their deepest fears and where an ancient evil has been collecting its victims across generations.
As psychologist Hailey investigates increasingly impossible deaths, her estranged sister Chloe begins experiencing terrifying visions of the same cemetery, the same victims, and the same Dark Figure. Their separate paths converge as history, faith, family trauma and supernatural mythology reveal an approaching Blood Moon—and a prophecy suggesting the sisters may be the only people capable of breaking the cycle.
13 Steps combines atmospheric supernatural horror with an emotional story about sisters, family trauma, faith, fear and ultimately the power of love to confront darkness.
