Synopsis
Out to Kill is a gay-themed film with a "whodunit" murder plot. Gay private investigator Jim Noble (played by Scott Sell) moves into a loft complex in Tampa, to find his first case literally right outside his door – the corpse of one of his neighbors, Justin Jaymes (played by out up-and-coming singer Tom Goss in his film debut), floating in the pool right in the middle of the complex's courtyard. When he is hired to solve the crime, Jim quickly learns that everyone in the complex has secrets, and that someone was willing to kill to keep their secrets hidden.
