SYNOPSIS:

Someone is going to be murdered at a posh Rockland Maine Rehab center for reasons that are unclear…

Reality Check is a psychological thriller which takes place at Starlight

Rehabilitation Clinic, a center located in a quiet suburb in Maine.

Starlight, run by Sebastian Marks, is a place of solitude for high

profile clients struggling with addiction and mental health issues.

When a troubled rockstar named Jason “J-Rock” Jambowski enters the

clinic by order of the court, he is instantly drawn into a web of

intrigue.

Issues center around a congressman’s daughter sent to rehab by her

father. Paula becomes infatuated with David, an orderly at the clinic

that, unbeknownst to her, is planning to use her to blackmail her father

during a reelection campaign.

To make matters worse, Paula also has issues with Samantha Kent, an

aging actress with an acid tongue, who spends her days flushing out

gossip and digging in the dirt.

When David ends up dead, initially ruled by accident, and then Samantha

is found murdered, fingers get pointed in Paula’s direction. But the

clinic’s assistant director, Gloria Sanders, who rather indiscreetly

spends a lot of time with Simon, (a patient at the clinic recovering

from a recent injury), begins to believe Simon may somehow be involved

in this recent trend of incidents.

Meanwhile a pair of detectives assigned to the case begin their own

investigation into David’s death, questioning a tight knit group of

residents looking for answers.

When Peter Lincoln, an online tabloid reporter, decides to go undercover

at the clinic looking for a big story to save his flailing career, he

quickly convinces his boss that J-Rock’s admittance just might be the

break the company needs. He gains admittance to the clinic's staff

following David’s death and begins searching for clues to the mystery..

With help from his co-worker and on-again, off-again girlfriend, Katy

Kamura, Peter begins to put the pieces of the puzzle together.

Will Peter be able to gather enough information to identify the killer

or killers before they can strike again, and will the evidence be enough

to bring them to justice, or will his findings point to the wrong

conclusion?
