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".
