NANJING MEMORIES
By Max Boyce

GENRE: Action, Adventure, Crime, Drama, Film-noir, Historical, Horror, Thriller
LOGLINE: A man loses his legs and one arm in Iraq to a terrorist in a fire fight. Wheelchair bound when back in the islands (Maui) he falls in love with a one-armed Chinese woman with a mysterious past. Together they exchange memories after proclaiming and sacrificing their deep love to each other.

SYNOPSIS:

Sargent Karl Wooten, a disabled veteran of the Iraq War, falls in love with a one-armed Chinese lady, a ghost really. This woman, Hui Zhong Ah Fook, is of a supernatural contiance and by conjouring up ancient Chinese Gods and mythology she exchanges her painful memories and her place in a limbo between heaven and earth with Karl. This story probably works best filmed on Maui, although I could adapt it to one of the other main islands. Break out the hankies ladies, it's a tearjerker at the end.
