Intro song
and title
Act 1
The two continue to drive as the storm picks up. Suddenly the sky goes even darker
and the only light that can be seen is purple flashes of lightning erupting through the
midnight clouds. Other cars driving on the foresty interstate begin to slow to stops and
pull over. Alice and Jude converse on what to do next. Neither of their phones had any
service and the storm was only getting harsher as time went on. A massive crack is
heard and light flashes, Alice screams as the car is struck and sent rolling down the
side of the hill from the road into the dense trees. We see Jude reach over to protect
Alice from any damage and proceeds to go unconscious from metal hitting his head.
Alice also passes out from the brute force of the fall and all fades to black.
Act 2
Alice’s eyes flutter open and she wipes her face of dirt and soot. Her immediate
reaction is to find and make sure Jude is okay. Cut to Jude yelling Alice’s name as he
runs in the direction of the car shrapnel. Alice is trembling looking nervously around her
till Jude comes into sight and the two embrace. Alice speaking through tears expresses
her worries, to which Jude works to ease. Once they both collect themselves and
realize what happened and what is still going on they sit in silence. Even Jude begins to
worry as what to do next. With any left over adrenaline running through Alice, she
quickly goes to tend to both of their wounds, not making a sound.
Act 3
Jude searches the remains of the car they drove and is able to recover some
sentimental items from the rubble. In an attempt to lighten the mood Jude refers to
old happy memories of the two. To which Alice responds well and is filled with slight
encouragement towards their current situation. With some hope now instilled into
both Alice and Jude they decide to explore and look for help.
Act 4
After a lot of walking Jude spots a cabin atop a hill. Alice is hopeful for their
situation, that they will rejoin society, and get help. Once at the cabin, Jude is
careful to examine it for any signs of danger. When all seems to be safe they
enter and begin rummaging for anything of use. A radio located on a table
stutters and static rolls out from it. Jude immediately runs over and tunes the
old piece of machinery. The same broadcast from the car can be heard faintly.
Act 5
As Jude and Alice continue to listen to the broadcast they become educated on
what is truly happening. When Jude switches the radio to another channel, pleading
voices can be heard. Switching the channel again a confident sounding man seems
to be reassuring everyone that no danger is near. Confused from all of these mixed
signals, Jude tries one more station with confidence. The radio buzzes until a faint
voice can be heard. Jude yells “dad!?” into the radio and receives a staticy reply
from Brian that can hardly be heard. A wave of relief washes over Jude and Alice,
knowing that their family is alive and they can all be reunited.
Where will the story go?
The duo will continue to explore the Blue Ridge Mountains that they have ended
up in. With their skills and knowledge of survival, Jude and Alice, will face many
obstacles in order to live and learn more about the tragedy that occured. Making
very little communication with civilization, more specifically their parents, the two
loose hope. But as thy head further north, reception to the radio is sparked. No
longer in doubt they set off to find help. Making friends and foes, taking risks,
conquering challenges both Alice and Jude tread the road in pursuit of survival
