TORMENTED SOUL
Mephisto has “supped with the Devil” and she wants payment - the eternal servitude of their innocent love-child, so Mephisto hides Ryan in the future where as an adult he's drawn to the “dark side” – a sure-fire way into Hell, compelling Mephisto to deliver a painful lesson to save his son's soul.
In 19th Century, Germany, the immortal and powerful MEPHISTO, appears to vanquish his long-time lover - ADORNI, a.k.a. the Devil, to protect their beloved love-child, RYAN, 5, from an immortal life of miserable servitude to her. But Adorni cannot be vanquished forever. She curses Mephisto with the greatest weapon of all, one over which he has no power – the unconditional love he has for his son. As she fades away she vows to hunt Ryan down.
Mephisto, unfettered by the constraints of time, parks Ryan in 21st century where he’s adopted by mortals – FRANK and DOROTHY. They, like Ryan, are unaware of his true identity.
Ryan’s now grown into a tech-savvy “new-blood” in the corporate world with plans to forge new paths into green technology in partnership with his beautiful, sweet sister, MEREDITH. His loyalty to her is absolute, with him owing her a debt that can never be paid.
When Frank abruptly hands his military-tech corporation over to Ryan, the siblings waste no time planning to transform the company away from war mongering into one with a bright, eco-friendly future. But something’s not right. Ryan’s on the brink of discovering Frank’s treachery – not only towards him and Meredith, but of their country. To thwart Frank’s plan, means playing dirty. Who will win? What’s really at stake?
While Mephisto may have erased himself from Ryan’s memory, he has never abandoned him – his love for Ryan is unconditional. Yet he lives in fear, tormented with the knowledge that Adorni may be tracking him to get to Ryan. If Ryan starts emulating his evil, adoptive father, by heading down the “dark path” of violence and revenge, it will be a siren-call to Adorni and a surefire, one-way trip for Ryan into Hell.
The only way Mephisto can protect Ryan is for him to remain the kind and loving young man he knows him to be. That will mean Ryan must confront the very demons that lurk within his persona and cast them out, regardless of the circumstances that befalls him.
But just how far is Ryan willing to stray from his moral center? What depths of revenge is he capable of in order to seek justice? Mephisto must know.
So he sets out to teach Ryan a painful lesson - one that will take them "down the rabbit-hole" of an alternate reality, where Mephisto controls the narrative. It’s not going to be some quaint adventure into Wonderland. The trials and tribulations for Ryan will be dire – testing his character to the limit and Mephisto’s resolve to hold firm, even when they return to the real world.
Does the end ever justify the means? They’re about to find out.
As Ryan: Tom Sturridge or Jack O'Connell
As Meredith: Eleanor Tomlinson
