SYNOPSIS:
Anchored in the study of Past Life Regression Therapy and the Human Consciousness, Transference is a Sci-Fi/Action/Thriller Feature that follows the trials and tribulations of our main protagonist Dr. Robert “Court” Courtney (handsome, boyish charm, snarky). Dr. Courtney has created an incredible technology called Human Consciousness Attribute Transference (H.C.A.T.) a technology that allows a person to transfer an ability from one of their past lives to their present consciousness. As an example, if in a past life you could speak French or perform Karate, H.C.A.T. is can identify that attribute via a gamma band oscillation intensifying nano-drug called Attitran and transfer that ability via an imprint onto your present consciousness. The technology has enormous positive implications for humanity, but severe unintended consequences. Dr. Courtney has proved we have past lives, he just doesn’t know why we have them, but there is someone who does.
Enter Rachel Johnson (beautiful, tenacious and cunning) our co-protagonist and her small but diverse band of quirky 'Variant' rebels. Part resistance, part mercenary, the Variants have discovered that E.A.R.T.H. isn’t just some biological accident, it’s actually an Expansive Artificial Rehabilitative Time Habitat; a physical construct designed to support H.U.M.A.N.S. Hydrogenated Uniform Microbial Anatomical Nano Structures, H.U.M.A.N.S. were created as vessels to allow our consciousness to experience the physical realm. Our past lives are our consciousness moving from vessel to vessel through rehabilitative milestones called Actualizations, all in an effort to return to the Collective, a massive single entity that collects and spawns all consciousness in the universe.
Court’s life is put in danger when H.C.A.T. threatens the purpose of the construct and the one who controls it – our antagonist ‘The Keeper'. An entity that has always been, influencing our lives throughout the centuries, he has the power to set and re-set our rehabilitative milestones. The Keeper currently hides in plain sight as Devlin Cray, billionaire owner of the giant conglomerate Cray Corporation, a company dealing in military weaponry, energy and technology. For the Keeper, his time in his current vessel as ‘Devlin Cray’ is coming to an end - he needs a new one and Court is the perfect candidate.
For Court, his very devout mother mysteriously disappeared when he was a teenager. He’s used his brains and boyish charm to build a stellar career, however it still haunts him that he doesn’t know what happened to her. He believes, based on his research, that her consciousness should be a past life in someone’s current consciousness somewhere. An impetus in him developing H.C.A.T. and his desire to find meaning in the human existence, his research now holds the key to finding the Keeper and solving the mystery of his mother’s disappearance.
For Rachel, she’s led a tough life. Orphaned as a young child, she learned how to live on the streets, doing whatever she had to in order to survive. Her ten past lives are a sordid collection of famous and infamous characters, including a Queen, a disgraced Ronin warrior and a serial killer. She struggles with her past and the character flaws that make it difficult for her to do the right thing in the present. The only pure and honest influence in her life is her 8-year-old daughter Lilly who she views as her ultimate salvation and redemption. Unfortunately, Lilly is terminally ill and only has a few months to live; the only way to make changes to Lilly’s rehabilitative timeline and cure her is to find out who the Keeper is and access the computer that controls the E.A.R.T.H. construct. As it turns out, Court’s patient research holds the key to determining the Keeper’s real identity. Rachel and Court agree to help each other and set off to find the Keeper.
The Keeper soon sets his minions on Court to control both him and his technology and an epic campaign of violence and deception erupts. In a daring plan to retrieve some of Court’s critical patient information and drug protocols from a secure archive, Rachel’s closest confidant, her brother, dies a horrible death at the hands of the Keeper’s right hand-man, a vicious cold-blooded, cross-dressing killer named ‘The Spaniard’.
The death of Rachel’s brother sends her into an emotional tailspin and it’s not long before the intensity of that event and their circumstances draw Court and Rachel closer together. Court can’t resist Rachel’s allure and their relationship grows into a something much deeper – at least for Court. However, Court’s strong attraction and affection for Rachel has blinded him to her veiled duplicity. Rachel has made a deal behind Court’s back. In exchange for the Keeper curing her daughter, Rachel has agreed to bring Court to him, all the while knowing the Keeper’s intentions to possess Court’s vessel.
With several of the Variants out of commission, Court decides to transfer multiple abilities from their consciousnesses into his own, effectively turning himself into a one-man super soldier. Armed with various high-level skills, Court makes covert entry into the Keeper’s compound in search of the mainframe that controls the construct. But before he can access Lilly’s rehabilitative timeline or information on his Mother’s disappearance, the system locks him out and he’s quickly propelled into a fight for his life against The Spaniard whose lying in wait.
Luckily for Court, Rachel intervenes at the last minute. Sending Court off to locate Devlin, she decides to take matters into her own hands and exact revenge on The Spaniard for killing here brother. Transferring abilities from her past life as a Ronin Warrior and blood thirsty Serial Killer, Rachel and The Spaniard engage in a sword fight for the ages. Rachel triumphs and strikes the final blow that results in The Spaniard’s ultimate demise.
Meanwhile, Court confronts Devlin, but is no match for The Keeper’s super-natural powers. As Devlin tortures Court both mentally and physically, Rachel’s twisted betrayal is finally revealed. Devlin transfers his consciousness into Court and as agreed Lilly is cured. Devlin now a manipulative past life in Court’s current consciousness has retained control of the E.A.R.T.H. construct through Court. However, what the Delvin didn’t know is that Lilly was more than just a sick little child, she’s the prophesized ‘Omega’. Although now only a child, when she matures to adulthood, she will become a physical presence on E.A.R.T.H. through which all consciousness can be cleansed and reconnected to the Collective, thereby eliminating the Keeper’s job. Devlin has inadvertently saved the only person that can truly threaten his existence.
In the end and in a bitter twist of fate, Court uses his own technology on himself one last time to bring forth Devlin’s hidden past life memories. To his horror he discovers that Devlin, now a manipulative and growing malevolent past life presence in his current consciousness, was responsible for his mother’s disappearance all those years ago, intentionally setting in motion the pre-destined series of events leading up to Devlin’s ultimate transference into Court’s consciousness.
