Independent filmmaker Royce Freeman is ready to go with Rapture, his debut feature film. Directing for the first time and from a script he co-wrote with Kurt S. Poulin, Freeman tells a story of a vicious storm bringing together a group of characters whose lives have been destined to meet. A seemingly tranquil weekend getaway is the setting which spins their lives into a downward spiral. Each is set to a tribulation of sorts, put to their limits and tested, and after which is a Rapture from the hell they currently face. Poulin, who had previously collaborated with Freeman on Blood Ties: The Legend Of Hammerhead, headlines the Rapture cast, which also includes David McKanna, Julianna Piechovski and Kristen Ballentine. Producer Thomas H. Wermke is fulfilling a life's ambition inspired by his mother, who recently passed away but always encouraged him to follow his dreams. Freeman provided us with this plot description: In the lives of many there are moments that define them. Moments that will forever change them. For Grace and her friends, a storm has come which has turned a peaceful weekend getaway into a nightmare. They will be faced with the darkest side of humanity and experience unspeakable horrors on the road to their salvation. Each put to the test, these lost souls will undergo a baptism of fire, of which not all will survive. And those who are raptured from this hell will be cleansed and given a new chance at life.
