When artist Dylan O'Connor pulls into a motel in Arizona, all he wants is a good sleep, but within the hour he finds himself bound, gagged and injected with some mysterious fluid by a madman. He and failing comedian Jillian Jackson find themselves hostages in a game with seriously high stakes.

Jillian Jackson, a comedian, is midway through her tour of seedy cocktail lounges and second-rate comedy clubs, accompanied only by her pet pot plant Fred. Her plans for stardom are dramatically altered, however, when she falls victim to the same eccentric scientist, who makes off with her beloved cadillac.

The doctor warns his victims that he is being pursued and that they too are now targets. If they are caught, they will be killed. Both are sceptical, but when three black Chevrolet Suburbans come screaming into the motel carpark and Jillian's stolen car is found in flames, they begin to wonder if the lunatic doctor wasn't so mad after all . . .

'By The Light Of The Moon' is a powerful action thriller that deftly combines drama, humour and spellbinding characters in a furiously paced plot that will leave you wanting more.
