SYNOPSIS:

It’s the Stranger Things meets Indiana Jones. (1-hour drama horror/fantasy)

FAST PITCH: On a normal spring day, in the tourist town of Olympia, Georgia where the townspeople pride themselves on their beautiful beaches, superb fishing, and monster legends. On this seemingly normal day, three local boys, DAVID BENNETT (13), CHANG SHENG (13), and WIL DECKER (13) stop into the local café before a competitive day of fishing, but soon realize everyone in the café has mysteriously vanished.

When Wil’s father, a normally overly confident Chief of Police, JOHN DECKER (40s) arrives on the scene, he finds strange snake-like tracks, an Ankh, (Egyptian symbol of life) and a mysterious cellphone video surrounding the victim’s disappearances. When his own police force to starts disappearing, and other members begin to act strangely, he quickly realizes he’s in over his head. So, he calls in an expert, the local Museum of Antiquities Director, GORDON DEEDS (40s). We follow each of these characters as they do their own investigating.

As they peel back the layers of the mystery, they realize the myths and legends surrounding the town’s history are in fact now becoming reality. Monsters of the long past have somehow returned and are terrorizing the locals, but this is only the beginning. BARNABAS DEEDS (40s), the man responsible for summoning the monsters, is a deranged lunatic, hell bent on world domination. He will stop at nothing to accomplish his goals.
