Beyond is a PG script for a movie set to film in early November 2011 Directed by Rob Walker about children in the border town of Las Cruses who start acting strangely. Defiant, sullen and dismissive of their parents, they club together in secret ‘cabals.’ They appear to be acting under the orders of a Higher Power. And it may be they are… When skeptical hotshot journalist David Thornton is solicited by a gang of Halloween door-to-door kids he knows something is wrong. It’s only June. And the local clairvoyant, savant and tea leaf reader, OLGA, comes on to him, trying to recruit him for a nameless and mysterious task. David pursues the story, following a terrified young woman, JANE, into hospital. Jane is incoherent with terror and later dies after warning David he is in danger. Strange things are happening all over town and most adults are blissfully unaware. The Aliens, even with their highly sophisticated technology, cannot survive on Planet Earth. On their home planet they exist as pure energy with no physical reality. On Earth, gravity and atmosphere interferes with their existence. They tend to explode unpredictably. David slowly unravels a complex plot led by Olga, who recruits children and adult academics, preparing for the Final Invasion of Earth. When David’s own son, JAY, who lives with David’s estranged wife, is drawn into the magnetic web binding the kids together, David fears he will lose his son. With the help of SHERIFF HERRERA, David figures out the flaw in the otherwise all-powerful Aliens. In a standup duel to the death, David defeats the Aliens leaders and they retreat from Earth. Sanity prevails again on Earth. Until the next time….
