By Peter Roach

GENRE: Sci-fi
LOGLINE:

When an LA detective assigned to a Native reservation is abducted, he must form an alliance with other aliens, lead an uprising or die in the vastness of space.

SYNOPSIS:

SYNOPSIS:

An LA detective JEROME TURNER (black, 40, looks like Melrose and Vine) arrives at the Hopi Tribal police station in the high desert. He absorbs the big space around him. He is a man out of place.

BILLY BEGAY (Hopi) wants nothing to do with the world outside the Rez. He wants to live the life of his ancestors. He is a man in his place.

A day later Turner does what he should not do; he chases Billy across the stark desert landscape.

Billy and Turner are plucked off the earth like fly balls in the outfield. They awake in a large dark cargo hold. Mysteriously, the controls respond to Turner. They find rows of stasis chambers. Turner releases a blue alien pair BLUE ONE and BLUE TWO and a Japanese man SHINOBU.

This sudden band of brothers look for an escape but realize the worst. They are in space, in a cargo ship on the way to an unknown destination.

Turner releases a large alien EASY (think Predator) who he is gambles will help fight their captors, but Easy is not a follower. Alarms have been triggered and their walkabout will be cut short.

The TRANSPORTERS arrive and re-capture the group. EASY returns and rescues them. They head to the bridge, overcome other Transporters and take control of the transport. Respite is short lived; this is not the Mothership. The real fight is yet to come.

The KITCHATSU arrive, they are masters of time and space. They move across the galaxy at will – they call it TRAVELING. This patchwork band of renegades will challenge an advanced species and trigger a full fledge revolt in space.

Surprises come fast at Turner; Easy’s identity will surprise Turner. There are no surprises in the K-CAPTAIN; this captain has death in his eyes, he has come for Turner, he has come for his ship.

The K-VICEROY(the K-Captain’s captain) will surprise Turner and offer him a paradox of a solution. A surprise ending awaits.

Billy Begay becomes what he always wanted; to live a simple life and protect his people from the outside. He does that, just not on planet Earth.

Turner, a man who did not belong in LA or on Hopi Reservation finds a home among the stars.
