                            -- A synopsis --
                                   by
                           Michael C. McPherson
      THE BURN is the story of monozygotic twins.  These twins are
      able to communicate with each other by means of telepathy.
      They are also gifted with telekinetic abilities.  Their names
      are Jeffrey and Jonathan.  Jonathan is the antagonist.
      Jonathan is an invalid who is filled with bitterness.  In his
      earlier years, Jonathan was molested and is now seeking revenge
      not only against those who have harmed him but against anyone
      who considers standing in his way.
      Jeffrey, who is a confused individual and in trouble with the
      law, suddenly sees the light and begins to change his ways.
      But his brother Jonathan will not allow him to do it.  He begins
      to manipulate Jeffrey, controlling his thoughts and his will.
      A mysterious murder takes place in a Youth Centre and Jeffrey
      suddenly falls under suspicion.  What follows is another
      suspicious death, one believed to be caused by spontaneous
      human combustion. The Police don't buy this story and it looks
      like Jeffrey will be spending the rest of his days in jail if
      someone doesn't hurry and absolve him from blame.
      Our protagonists are Leona Hampton, the mother of the two boys,
      and her boyfriend, Dan Tobias.  Together they seek out the real
      perp involved, do anything to prove Jeffrey innocent of all charges.
      It is not long before it is discovered that not only is Jeffrey
      being manipulated by his brother, but also another boy by the
      name of Kevin Kellogg.
      It soon develops into a battle of the minds.  If Jeffrey and
      Kevin fall victim to Jonathan's will, there'll be more deaths,
      more people destroyed by being set on fire.  Jonathan is angry.
      Jonathan will get even.  Jonathan will continue to kill unless
      he's stopped.
      Leona and Dan, along with Jeffrey, eventually overcome the evil.
      But not before several people pay the ultimate price.
      THE BURN is the story of a family overcoming colossal troubles
      in their lives and becoming closer because of it.  It is a tale
      of love and devotion, of horror, and people whom survive a crisis
      and learn to grow as a family.  THE BURN is a tale of survival
      and of people helping people.
