SYNOPSIS
A character drama about faith, power and fear set in a small-town church in Oklahoma.
BREAKDOWN
FATHER BILL -- a mid-20s academic priest. He is an extremely talented
researcher and scholar. He is both brilliant and conceited. He graduated
high school 2 years early and went to the University of North Carolina. He
has a large amount of confidence about his abilities and is very protective
and stubborn about his work. In a sense it is the only thing he has. As
a result he is a moody and cocky little jerk. (which is probably a cover for his insecurities) He most likely joined the Jesuits in order to hide from him inability to fit in with normal people. Before his schooling at university he was very withdrawn and anti-social. He was never comfortable around people and couldn't really find a way to interact with them. When he reached college he was able to thrive as a thinker. He was praised and positively reinforced for his progressive and highly astute thinking. Having just finished his schooling by the Jesuits, he is looking forward to a prestigious assignment. He is devastated, offended, and angry that he has been assigned to a small church in a small town. He feels that his superiors aren't giving him the proper respect. Bill feels that Green is trying to hold him back and suppress histalent. Once he realizes what he is researching he becomes obsessed with his work. He is so involved with the evil he is researching he closes himself off to Amy, the one person who is screaming for his help. (8 DAYS - ALL DATES)
FATHER GREEN -- an extremely capable person. He is about 50- 60 years
old, fatherly, with a lot of humanity. He has mastered the ability to thrive in the system by going by the rules. He is only comfortable in doing things
one way, his way. In his mind there are only two ways to do something,
the right way and the wrong way. Even though he is able to play the game
very well, deep down he is driven by his deep humanity. He feels that his post serves mankind and doesn't care that he has been hidden away, assigned to the obscure. He has been the steward of the creature for 20 years, and he is set in his ways. He replaced the last steward that died. He worked with the researcher, Philips, until he died. Now he has to integrate Bill into the game plan. Green likes Bill but is constantly irritated by him. Green can sympathize with Bill's mindset but still is disgusted by his behavior sometimes. (6 DAYS, Scheduled: Nov. 11, 13, 18-21)
AMY -- An average, wholesome, vulnerable 18 year old girl. She is your over protective younger sister. She goes to the church every Sunday. She and her 22-year-old boyfriend are going to Father Green on a weekly basis for counseling. They are having a few problems. Amy, however, is
having big problems. These problems are obviously affecting her in a serious way. She can't find an outlet for her severe distress. When she meets Father Bill, for some reason, she connects with him and wants him to help her. Once Father Bill rejects her she closes up and does her best to act normal. Now that she has been let down, no one will ever assume there is anything wrong with her. (3 DAYS Scheduled Nov. 12, 13, 21)
