Vortex
Logline:
A single wish transports five friends to a parallel plane of
existence where they re-emerge as teenagers.
Synopsis:
Best friends Charles, Tony, Ed, Marnie
and Lee Ann have been close friends since their student days at Kennedy
University in 1977. Through the years they have relied on each other and shared
their various joys and sorrows. Though they moved to different locations, mind
frames and interests they keep in almost daily contact keeping the friendship
alive. Some of them felt they were even soul-mates.
On July 4th 1997 the friends and alumni
of Kennedy University were to meet again at the Annual Barbecue in Washington,
DC. No longer carefree teenagers they once were, the 37 year olds are tired and
a little burnt out.
One of the friends bellows a heartfelt
wish to be 20 years younger and to start again. This time he wishes a little too
hard. Suddenly the gang is sucked into a Vortex back to 1977. Glory days? Be
careful what you wish for. This character driven adventure promises to change
them forever.
VORTEX is a
family oriented retro road trip with a touch of "Back to the Future" and "The
Wizard of Oz".
