Redemption (Working Title)

Reed Dempsey (working names), an estranged step dad hops on a plane in South East Asia and his ex-wife’s daughter Samantha (Sam) is on it. She doesn’t remember him but lives with questions. Their paths cross on a plane, he’s coming from Nepal and she’s been in Goa partying with friends still traveling together. The girls are flying from Delhi to Bangkok to continue their adventure; Reed’s flight originates in Nepal and picked up fuel and more people in Delhi.

The plane goes down in a remote jungle between Thailand and Burma. He ends up teaming up with her and others that slowly die off by infection, cobra bites, and old mine fields. They witness a rouge military unit hurting civilians, forcing them to work, taking their rice crop for the soldiers, raping and abusing villagers. They are spotted and the militia fire on them with many survivors being shot down trying to flee. Running through the jungle they stumble on a smugglers route and follow it to the north. Reed eventually asks her name and recognizes her and knows more than she does but keeps it to himself until the end. A rescue plane flies over but they are being pursued so they cannot give away their location.

The mother arrives at the tarmac and is shocked at the pair arm in arm before Samantha (Sam) runs to her mother. Reed walks over slowly. The daughter explains that this man saved her and realizes she doesn’t know his full name. Mother tells her who it is and hugs him and thanks him for saving their daughter and cries. The three go off, mother and daughter holding hands. The daughter looks at her mother and then looks at Reed and grabs his hand as they walk into the airport sliding doors and into the world. Mom looks at daughter, daughter looks at Mom, then at Reed and then forward. Reed and mother stare at each other over Samantha’s head as they enter the terminal.
