Logline: What does it mean to be human? In the New York underground, six years post-apocalypse, a desperate band of survivors discover that beating the odds is not enough; they must fight to preserve the soul of Humanity, no matter how high the price.


Synopsis: Sudden destruction shatters the American dream. Jude Cobain leads an improvised army in the subway tunnels of a post-apocalyptic Manhattan island. Fighting cannibals, disease, nuclear winter, and starvation for six years has left him doubting the worth of his own life. The finer traits of humanity are fading from the group of men surrounding him, and Cobain realizes that mere survival is not enough.

Rachel, a passionate violinist, has been struggling to protect a group of young musicians in the basement of a destroyed school of music on the north part of the island. They are artists, musicians, and fine people; but death is hovering near as the elements close in around them. Rachel sends one of her own to find the famed leader, Cobain, and ask for his protection.

A defected soldier, Moran, leads part of Cobain’s army into rebellion, and then unites the cannibal remnants to fight with him against Cobain.

Battling his way north through the tunnels, Cobain discovers that Humanity is worth every sacrifice; and in saving her, he saves himself.


About the Author: Since childhood I’ve had very vivid dreams about the last great war to take place on American soil. This script is based very closely on my dreams; I feel as though I already know the main characters.

I am a columnist for No Greater Joy magazine, The Old Schoolhouse magazine, bulkherbstore.com, Journey magazine, and also do various freelance work. A journal of my time among the primitive tribal Simbai of Papua New Guinea was published in book format; Rebekah’s Diary. It was there, among the Simbai that I studied the cultural and physiological effects of cannibalism. I have a BA in linguistics and ethnology.


Thank you for your interest,
