My idea for my opening sequence involves a young man named Jamie Hopkins who has recently been released from prison. He was jailed for manslaughter our perception of him is that he has lived a reckless lifestyle in his younger days and is now trying to find forgiveness and redemption.
His lonely nights in his cell missing his girlfriend, mother and new born baby drive him to frustration and depression and he starts to have strange dreams about his violent past. He see's the faces of the people he has hurt and affected coming back to haunt him. It seems that he can't ever escape his past even though he is trying to better his life for his child and girlfriend.
Trying to brush the dreams off his shoulder, blaming it on the 'prison life', something even stranger happens. Jamie is at home and falls asleep and has another dream about the incident that had him put in jail in the first place. He wakes up in cold sweats and then there's a knock on the door and its the same person in his dream...
Jamie is continuously engulfed into his intense dreams. As he tries to get on the right track, the family of the boy he took the life of 10 years ago, are after him not only in his dreams, but in reality.
How will Jamie break the cycle ?
