Synopsis:

An incest survivor copes with his shame and closet homosexuality by plotting the murder of his brother, his first sexual-experience. He is assaulted by vivid flashbacks from his youth as his subconscious self begins to merge and interfere with his everyday reality. He relies on the church to help him, but his gradual submersion into self-hatred and shame leads him to believe he is satanically possessed-a recent slew of mysterious murders in his neighborhood contribute to his insecurity. His use of mind-altering substances assists him in understanding the greater forces around him, and the drugs grant him a reprieve from cognitive existence. But with his conservative Evangelical upbringing, he struggles to overcome the homosexual paradox and later tries to curtail his drug use, but his thought processes are bombarded by voices of scorn and derision which serve to admonish him into a state of immobilizing pain. He agonizes over the morality question, in that he wants to eradicate his demons by ridding himself of his brother and manages to find himself in dire predicaments where his paranoia envelops him into a corner where he has no alternative but to defend himself.Incest of the Trinity is a vivid, disturbing tale of modern morality.
