After losing his virginity to a stranger, a confident but naïve gay teen contracts an STI that causes his flesh to transform into a living gun.

Think an LGBT crossover between It Follows + Tokyo Gore Police and you're on the right track.

Weaponized is an insane blend of ideas echoing the early works of Clive Barker and David Cronenberg but set in a modern era that's obsessed with guns and weaponry. Everything that happens occurs through the lens of a gay teen who's stuck with a new STI in a world where everyone already has one.

What would you do in a world where everyone has an STI?

Weaponized is set in a world where sexually transmitted infections have become rampant. Sex isn't just illegal -- it's guaranteed death. An asymptomatic and lethal STI called The Hollow kills all those who are sexually active. Until it doesn't.

Why sexually transmitted weapons?

We've all had that fear, that moment when you feel a bump after sex, but what if that bump matured into a deformity? And that deformity into a gun? Sex is dangerous and only becomes more attractive with age. The moment our fear goes away we become something new.

With Weaponized, it's twisted, manifesting physically, and sexually transmitted infections are secretly responsible for the world's entire supply of weapons. The remains of the infected dead are used to create guns, until one young man becomes the exception.

65 parts Complete

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
