Falsely accused of some violent killings, Jerry Zipkin (Red Shoe Diaries' Zalman King) uncovers the shocking truth about BLUE SUNSHINE!

It starts off as a great party-just eight people in a secluded lodge. One of the guests suddenly goes on a shockingly violent, murderous rampage. There is something wrong with his hair, and pure evil in his eyes. What he does to three of the girls there is too hideous to describe. Falsely accused of the brutal killings, Jerry Zipkin (Red Shoe Diaries' Zalman King) goes on the run. More bizarre murders occur, and while trying to clear his name, Jerry discovers the shocking truth: The people losing their hair and turning into violent psychopaths may be connected to a drug each killer took a decade before. A drug known as 'Blue Sunshine.'
