THE CIVIL SERVANT
By Jennifer Weber

GENRE: Sci-fi
LOGLINE:

Before her friend’s sudden death, a college student is given a file exposing the location of a small town V.A. hospital where a comatose CIA operative is hidden away and forced to give birth multiple times to children adopted by families who are unaware The Department of Defense zealously monitors each child.

SYNOPSIS:

College student, Kim Raleigh, working part-time in her university library, is given the task of bar-coding a recent donation by the United States government of formerly classified files. Her close friend Erik, needing to complete an assignment before a planned road trip with Kim, “borrows” a file that hasn’t been bar-coded, then seemingly vanishes.

Federal agents soon show up at school, confiscating the files and playing down the true reason they desperately want to retrieve one stolen file in particular.

Trying to track down Erik, Kim goes to his dorm room and discovers he’s left his cell phone on the charger. Checking his voicemails, she discovers Erik has called his own phone from another state and left cryptic messages to Kim about the incriminating file that reveals the location of Hazelwood, a small town V.A hospital that hides a former CIA operative, Patricia Carver, who once was part of “Centerlane” a still-active covert government program that for over three decades competed with the Soviets to find “gifted” people to use in psychic espionage.

Patricia, well aware of her powerful and rare psychic abilities, came forward and volunteered to be studied at Centerlane, only to regret the decision. Despite decades of research, Patricia is the only genuinely psychic person the program has ever encountered. Refusing to cooperate any further, Patricia’s death is faked, and her body is used to breed children, later adopted out to unsuspecting families, whom the Department of Defense monitors for any signs of telepathic abilities.

Kim, eager to learn about Erik’s death and unaware of the true nature of the contents of the file, sets out and meets one of the now-grown children to unravel the truth about the program, which the government will do anything to suppress.
