HOMECOMING
By Robert Cox

GENRE: Action, Adventure
LOGLINE:

A young man wanders out of the desert, beaten and bruised, with no memory of the last ten years. He’ll find out two things quickly, High school is hard enough when you can’t remember, but it's worse when someone is trying to kill you.

SYNOPSIS:

Alex turns eighteen and decides to go on a camping trip by himself to think about what he wants to do with the next chapter in his life. A week later, he stumbles onto the side of a road, naked and beaten, with a ten-year memory loss due to a concussion. While he is in the hospital, an attempt is made on his life.

Upon arriving home, the ten-year gap in his memory, causes problems with his girlfriend Teri and Best friend Bobby. It’s uncomfortable for him not knowing people and struggles with his memory loss and is impatient to regain it. He finds, however, that he has not lost what he has learned in school, and remarkably finds that he has an aptitude for math and physics he never had before. While Alex is trying to establish a normal life, a shadowy figure follows him, always close by. Alex is unaware of this person’s existence, as his life goes in another direction, with new friends and new interests. This causes Teri to treat him poorly, and Bobby to adapt to the changes in his best friend. On top of this, another attempt is made on his life, which concerns both his parents and the police.

A note is placed on the windshield of his car telling Alex, that he goes to a certain place in the desert, a mountain, that all his memory questions will be answered. When he tells his new friend Diana, she blackmails Alex into taking her.

Arriving at the mountain, they discover a passage inside, into what looks like a laboratory/hospital. The place looks oddly familiar to Alex, and when they enter a room that has a nameplate on the front door with his name on it, a voice comes over the speaker taunting him. When they come face to face with the person who has tried to kill Alex three times, he must fight to regain not only his past but his future as well.
