GENRE: Thriller / Suspense, Drama
LOGLINE:

A ruthless narcissist tries to prove the existence of time travel, by exploiting one of the most vulnerable children on earth.

SYNOPSIS:

I have always had an interest in hoax’s and have often thought about how they are able to work, especially in the modern digital age of the Internet sleuth. I’ve always felt that the only way a hoax can truly happen is if the person at the center of it was completely isolated from society, no family, no friends and no technology. So I asked myself who that person was?

Again I let it simmer for some time until it hit me one night in my bed. Feral children who have been abandoned by the families and end up living in the wild with animals. Though very rare, it still occurs today with cases being reported recently in Eastern Europe and India.

What if a manipulative being tried to exploit one of these children for their own gain, to execute a hoax? While obviously, it is very dark subject matter, it’s not something I am scared of exploring. Though I am treading very carefully as I maneuver my way through the intricacies of the story, especially as we are dealing with the exploitation of children and severe learning disabilities. I feel there is a story to be told here and in terms of hero onboarding, you can’t have much more of a reason to get behind a character than a child who has been abandoned into the wild by their family.
