TRAILER

 THE DAVID TRILOGY

 THE PENANCE LIST, UNFINISHED BUSINESS, FOR MY SINS.

‘We follow young David Howard's journey from angelic altar boy to a disturbed killer. Grabbing our hearts along the way. Making us feel empathy for the boy and an understanding for the man he's become.

From the age of seven for ten years, David's beauty was a curse. To survive, he collected a penance list of names. Vowing that when big enough, strong enough, he would make those who'd taken his innocence pay.

Maturing into a sexual tour-de-force playboy with a large inheritance to squander, he moved to London. Where he manoeuvred shark-like through its colourful underbelly - a world of spoilt celebrity, class snobbery, debauchery, prostitution, and the British press. Using s/ex as a weapon, he kept his promise. The body count grew.

Now down to the last names, three fun-loving career-women and their lovers, one an infamous premiership footballer, have no idea they're on a list.
Grab a glass of wine, close the bedroom door and read alone!

Set in glitterati London, the leafy home counties, and the spectacular Amalfi Coast. A stylish, s/exy, at times laugh-out-loud, contemporary drama.
