Death Tarp

Death Tarp is a supernatural tale of disease and revenge. Alone and dying, Daniel feels abandoned and betrayed by his lover, Kyle, and friend, Clarissa. Unable to cope, he commits suicide, but his spirit is strong and takes on a new life in his newly stitched panel of the AIDS quilt. Out of body and mind, Daniel forms the quilt to his own image and seeks out vengeance on those that wronged him.
