A murder mystery presented in three genres -- gritty film noir when the brilliant detective who solved the case recalls it, lush Hollywood glamour when his starry-eyed wife starts writing a novel about it, and lurid pulp when her meddlesome editor rewrites her. Their comic battle for creative control of the manuscript turns serious when the novelist realizes her husband missed a key clue, and the race is on to see who can re-solve the case first.

Alex and Thea, two soulmates who fall magically in love as children, are tragically separated after an accident kills their parents and leaves Alex locked in a coma. Years later, reunited as adults, the two fall in love again, but tragedy separates them once more -- seemingly forever -- until they rediscover how to meet again . . . in their dreams.
Debbi K. Swanson, President, Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle, wrote of DREAM TRUE, "This script has a strong female character who takes the lead even though the male is the protagonist. Marvis creates an imaginary romantic place for lovers to meet when all else is doomed, though getting there is often impossible. This is the kind of story that keeps you glued."
