The Suicide Theory is an intense, dark thriller that takes the viewer on an unexpected rollercoaster of twists and turns. STEVEN RAY (Steve Mouzakis) is a violent hit man who harbors the pain of an incredible personal tragedy. One night, as Steven plots his next murder, he meets PERCIVAL (Leon Cain), a grief-stricken man whose unsuccessful attempt at suicide interferes with Steven's next kill. This chance encounter introduces the two into each other's sad and lonely lives. Percival shares with Steven that he wants to die, but miraculously survives each suicide attempt. He asks Steven to kill him. But even a professional like Steven can't seem to end Percival's life. What curse or blessing is protecting this desperate man? Was it purely a coincidence that brought these two broken men together or do they share a deeper and much darker bond?

turns.”
