Synosis/biography *EDIT*
So, had to submit the 10 pages, the syposis and my biography for the Red Planet thing. So here, for posterity (or for the sake of the ego I never claimed to have) is the half page synopsis and half page biography I had to submit along with the 10 pages for the competition.
And huge thanks to Danni and Shar for the advice thay gave me with the biography.
Such Great Heights
Synopsis:
Josh Wyndham and Alicia Kramer are former lovers. As Josh lies in the recovery room of a hospital, the pair reminisce about their relationship. Having met through mutual friends, they start dating. Things start to go sour as they move in together. Alicia finds out that she is pregnant and, while this information keeps the relationship together for a while, it eventually falls apart. This also leads to an almost complete breakdown between the two for various reasons. Josh is denied access to his child, a son called Michael, because of what happens. He only knows the gender of his child due to a chance meeting with a mutual friend (not the ones that they met through). Josh moves on with his life, while always thinking about his son. Josh finally finds about his son when Michael needs an organ transplant. Alicia, in what is seen to her as a desperation move, gets a message though to Josh. Josh, as it turns out, is a close match and more than willingly agrees to be a donor.
