Hybristophilia

Hybristophilia: A Twisted Psychological Thriller

Like a stone thrown into a pond, a young man's life shatters in one brutal moment in the London suburb of Chiswick. Jason White – scarred by an abusive relationship with his bullying father – flips on a night that will irrevocably change his life and those around him.

Arrested on suspicion of a crime, Jason's story is catapulted into an unfolding media election, while the death of his father – the crime for which he has been accused – peels back not only a shocking murder but a disturbing world of family secrets, psychological manipulation and obsessive desire. As Jason becomes embroiled in a high-stakes legal battle for his freedom, the courtroom drama exposes the dark underbelly of the justice system and the power of public perception.

Two contrasting characters are both drawn to Jason's fame, both psychologically so close to hybristophilia, a paraphilia involving attraction to those who have committed crimes, that reality and delusion are difficult to tease apart.

Hybristophilia is a psychological thriller with a twist that will stay with you long. It is a dark, psychological study of lost kids in an ordinary world set against the backdrop of a gripping legal drama.
