Audrey’s Door
Audrey’s Door is a supernatural thriller about a woman running from her past, who moves into a haunted apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. In her sleep, her latent OCD flairs, and she begins to build a door. She’s not sure whether she’s going mad, or it’s the building, or the strange, aged tenants living across the hall, but something has gone very wrong, because some doors lead to all the wrong places.
Optioned for film by The Weinstein Company, Audrey’s Door goes on sale on September 29, 2009.
