LONG PATH TO PEACE

An innocent guy ensnared by a drug lord and his dirty cop partner, evades their death-in-custody plan by escaping into the wilderness where he saves his immortal Guide from a guilt-fueled nightmare and discovers his own true identity.

HC of this FEATURE: The innocent Sam is hidden in the wilderness of the pacific north-west from a ruthless drug-lord and crooked cop who want him dead. His mysterious mentor/bodyguard - an ex-military ranger, endures an immortal life of grief and remorse for an unforgivable crime and Sam holds the key to his ultimate salvation. LEAD CHARACTERS ...a father-and-son film: The innocent SAM (18) is a deeply-principled pacifist and an empath, who feels the emotions of other life-forms and refuses to kill them. His mentor/ bodyguard discovers Sam’s true nature – a “being of two worlds.” ALBERT (52) first Nations – Kootenai, aloof and seemingly uncaring, lives with a terrible secret – cursed with immortality for an unforgivable crime and should he bond with any of the ‘lost boys” he mentors, they die. TRANSFORMATIONAL JOURNEY: SAM transforms from a lonely, unhappy city lad ravaged by violence to becoming a skilled forest dweller at peace with himself and one with Nature. But his love for his mentor – the father he’s always wanted and stands to lose, comes at a price. For ALBERT, on the brink of death at the hands of his executioner, it is only Sam’s love and sacrifice for him that redeems Albert and absolves his curse.
