DONE!

I am officially DONE with this bad ass mofo... 4 months, 3 drafts, 2 endings, and one awesome freaking screenplay. I could not be more happy with the way the story crafted itself inside my head. This has always been something I wanted to do one day and I finally did it. As of now I have submitted it to one competition so far and am trolling the web for more. Hopefully I can at least get an honorable mention in one of them so I can send out an accolade with my query letters. Here's the final synopsis... if you want to read the finished product, hit me up...

Synopsis

Tissue(s) is a dark tale about what the desperate are willing to do, in order to get what they need. Utilizing the most basic of human emotions, the story revolves around JAKE McADAMS (22) and his experiences at the Eternal Serenity Mortuary.

Fresh out of college, Jake is having a rough time. His girlfriend April (22) shouts out another guys name in bed, he gets a DUI, his father, STANLEY (50’s), is a drunk who cancelled his apartment lease and he can not find a job.

Out of desperation, Jake accepts a position as an Assistant at the Eternal Serenity Mortuary. Jake is familiar with this particular Mortuary, his mother was buried there a year prior. He starts as a working gravedigger, breaking his back alongside JOHN BROWN (50’s), who has been at the Mortuary since the beginning. Jake only does manual labor for a short period, he is promoted by Dr. LUCAS HARRINGTON (owner, 70’s) to be LIZ’s (30) personal assistant. Liz quickly introduces Jake into the lucrative world of tissue harvesting. She explains that it is perfectly legal under California’s Presumed Consent law that if an autopsy is ordered, she can take whatever she needs.

After Jake starts to get his hands dirty, strange things begin to happen. He is having vivid dreams of a gravestone statue peering over him as he sleeps. Soon after, Liz forces Jake to travel to a local hospital for some on-site gathering. After an exciting chain of events the two end up shooting and kidnapping a Detective and a hospital employee for a “live” harvesting, but things do not go according to plan.

Trust begins to break down between Liz and Jake. Stanley is found dead from an apparent suicide and April goes missing just days later. After Stanley’s funeral at Eternal Serenity, all the cards are revealed as Jake confronts Liz in a showdown that will test him mentally and physically.
