BLACK SHEEP OF WALNUT CREEK (SHORT)
By Jennifer Bouani

GENRE: Sci-fi, Drama
LOGLINE:

A single mother and her toddler attend a reunion where so-called friends challenge their 18-day disappearance from the NICU.

SYNOPSIS:

Co-written with Jax Schumann.

Worldly Rebecca "Rebel" Stevens reconnects with the provincial women of her high school graduating class. Back in the day, Rebecca, her BFF Samantha, and fellow ringleader, De-Nay, were, by all high-school faculty accounts, the “Triad of Rebellious Terror”. Drugs, rock-n-roll, vandalism, and ...dancing. But life can change in 8 years. De-nay married a minister. Samantha divorced in scandal. And Rebel? As far as the girls of Eagle Baptist High School are concerned, she may be downright delusional. Awkward silences, holy witnessing, and unpronounceable gourmet appetizers prevail at this informal reunion. To Rebecca's relief, no one seems to notice her toddler Casey's unusually mature behavior. Afraid she’ll be blackballed from the world if she doesn’t gain the approval of those who once signified her acceptance, Rebecca is tempted to reveal the truth about her 18-day disappearance from the NICU--a decision that could backfire and endanger her precocious child.
