Summaries

Birth of a MURDERER: A Black male college student falls haplessly in love with a white coed and discovers she isn't how she appears. Slowly but surely, he begins to unravel and the result is both shocking and perplexing.

Birth of a Murderer is a complex story of romance, race, and a splash of thriller. Without giving away the entire plot, we follow Robert Wainwright, a black playwright and college student, and his relationship with his white girlfriend, fellow student Lilith McEntire. Robert's spiral out of control and into obsessiveness brings their relationship to an unnerving end as his actions become polarizing to his own moral compass. The question arises within this "villain arc" where we ask if Robert's turn was found in the warnings his father gave him before getting to college or if his demise was an awakening of something much more deep-rooted.—Nathaniel Jones
