Impulsive, school misfit, Megan Stone, risks her future as she struggles to help introspective, A-grade student, Tom Winter, reclaim a life-saving serum from his mother’s killer and save his father from cancer. Thrillingly balanced between Lethal Weapon and The X-Files, Coffin is grounded in the real world and takes its cues from science and the morality of cause and effect. While there are hints of the supernatural, I have explored a narrative that cannot escape into the mythical coincidence of Harry Potter or the hyper-real emotionality of Twilight, the Hunger Games, or their derivatives. What Tom and Megan face is real. Real and painful.

In a futuristic world, the residents have no say. From birth, they are monitored and chosen for the jobs within society. Some have more potential than others and are selected by the Elders before they start their formal schooling to fulfill prestigious positions after graduation. These students train together in a special facility and are respected by the society. Belle and Derek both hold those prestigious positions. Belle as an Agent and Derek as the Executioner. They've been accused and tried for the murder of a respected Agent. A murder that they did not commit. Now, they are thrust into the experimental punishment that is the Ki'i. The convicted are thrust into an enclosed area and left there until only one remains alive. The last one standing gains his or her freedom and a secure job in the government. Belle and Derek are best friends and neither one are willing to kill the other, but when their circumstances change, they have a chance to fight back against the Elders that sentenced them. Now, they are fighting for the rights of their people and against everything that they have been taught.
