Reviving Thebes: Ismene's Beginning

Educated, intelligent, and wealthy, is the perfect combination for a serial killer. Especially for a high-profile criminal lawyer that understands how not to get caught. Calculating every move, the 'Doc', employs his vast experience in law to pray upon the most vulnerable.

Set in contemporary Chicago, Reviving Thebes is a graphic psychological thriller, examining the struggles of nature v. nurture. Can the love of torture be in one's makeup? Or are we made to murder by our environments? Can we escape our fates? Or are we destined to be ourselves, however 'evil' that may be?

Winding through a maze of lust and violence, hate and hedonism, this disturbing Oedipal journey chronicles the "Doc's" wicked pursuits against the backdrop of racial inequity, where the age-old question remains resolute:

When you dine as the devil, will you eventually taste Hell?
