DESCENDANCY
Amidst a hostile takeover attempt, a billionaire enlists the aid of a noted genealogist to map his Nigerian ancestry, but when the trail leads to a remote African village, his attempts to help the locals pit him and his estranged son against corrupt security contractors, both abroad and at home.
SentryForce, a private security subsidiary of Brantley, run by Orson's pampered sons, Clive and Hunter, is at the center of a firestorm of protests in the wake of the shooting death of Jesse Stillwell, a black youth, by a SentryForce officer. When Morgan's rebellious son Nate is arrested at the protest, it causes a public relations nightmare sending stock prices tumbling.
Despite his success in the business world, Morgan envies the Brantleys, old moneyed blue bloods who flaunt their heritage, even basing their corporate logo on the family crest. Hungry for validation of his own family lineage, and at the behest of his colleague, fellow African American businessman Lionel Preston, he enlists the genealogical services of one Tatiana Forrestal-Vance, the best in the world at connecting black Americans with their African ancestors.
While navigating the pitfalls of an increasingly hostile takeover, Morgan receives word from Tatiana of a major breakthrough with her research, placing Morgan's direct line of paternal ancestors within Bodo, a small Nigerian fishing community.
Morgan wastes no time in arranging a trip, enticing Tatiana to accompany him. No sooner does Morgan's private jet touch down in Nigeria, he is under attack, the victim of a saboteur who blows up his plane on the runway. Morgan and Tatiana barely escape, thanks to Morgan's pilot and loyal friend, Sal.
Morgan arrives in Bodo, welcomed as a potential savior by the villagers. Meeting with Barnabas, the village spokesman, he learns of their many problems, including lack of supplies and environmental devastation. Morgan pledges to help in any way he can, but when a vicious warlord attacks, Tatiana is kidnapped. Morgan must wire millions to secure her release, but when the money is transferred, Morgan is arrested, charged with aiding terrorist organizations.
Back in America, the merger deal collapses with Morgan's reputation in tatters. But Nate digs deeper into Jesse Stillwell's final days, unraveling the conspiracy at the heart of his shooting, putting both him and his father on a collision course with the plotters of a shadowy agenda that runs from the Dark Continent to the dark corners of South-Central L.A.
Freed from captivity in a daring escape led by Sal and Barnabas, Morgan must go on the run as an international fugitive, track down Tatiana, and discover who has set him up, and why.
Morgan Turner's search for his roots is about to test him in a way that no DNA result or family tree will, and what will be revealed does not show up on any coat of arms, but is all that matters about family, honor, and country.

"A great premise, hook, and a terrific central character make for a compelling reading experience in this high-octane, international adventure. I really enjoyed this screenplay... Strong opening scene. Excellent writing. The sharp detail and powerful visuals bring the words on the page to life. Really like how you tied in the teaser to the introduction of our protagonist, Morgan Turner.
