Section 6: Charater Outlines and Script

Eva
Eva is a nineteen year old girl who has had an unfortunate past- she never knew her father and her mother had died in a car accident whilst she was still so young with few memories of her. Since then she has been lonely, sad and obsessive about the memories that she does have of her mother as well as the few photos, as they are the closest thing she has left of her. She goes out drinking heavily, getting with lots of men and partying, suppressing her sadness and using alcohol and one-night-stands as an escape. One day, after a particular heavy drinking session at the pub, a letter addressed from her mother appears in her apartment bedroom. She suddenly is filled with curiosity and a sense of purpose again as she sets of to the location given to her on the letter. Her excitement cloaks the unusual situation she finds herself in, and so carries on, leading this lonely girl into an adventure which leads all the way to her past.

Detective Milton
His past is as much of a mystery as the cases he has to solve. Milton is a sophisticated, intelligent, hard-working detective who doesn’t talk much about his past but always seems like he has something to hide. He receives a phone call from an unknown caller one day and his and Eva’s paths cross at a murder scene. From then on Eva follows him wherever, hoping he can be the man to solve this case, find her mother and stop her confusion. At first Milton despises Eva and her drinking antics. As the film goes on though, we see the opposite characters sparking off an unlikely friendship which eventually is the reason for Milton changing his mind and being killed for trying to save Eva's life at the last minute.

she still doesn’t want to trust him completely and the two completely opposite characters share an unusual relationship.

The Killer
The name and purpose of the killer remains unknown in the film, however, slight clues throughout the film slowly reveal clips of the master plan. The audience are led to believe the killer is a man and Eva comes to wrong conclusion about "his" plan, meaning that the audience does too. The plan is finally explained to Eva as the killer reveals who she is and what she is after just as the audience believe Eva is about to be killed. The killer is in fact a women who is stealthy, unforgiving and seems to be powered by an objective she wishes to complete. There is another twist as we find out that Detective Milton is helping the killer.

Victims
The start of the film introduces the first two victims -Katie and Imogen- who are drawn into the same mysterious forest where Eva and Milton met each other. They both hold identical letters and too believe they are there to meet there mother like Eva did. We never learn much about the other victims in the film, although Milton discovers they all worked or still work for the same company that Eva's mum did when she was alive. This and the strange letters seem to be the only bond connecting them.
