Deviled Eggs and Going Home

Abstract

This original screenplay is about a woman who has tried desperately to escape her past and her family. She is drawn back into the fold upon the death of her grandfather, a man she still resents, and is suddenly faced with the knowledge that she will have to confront her estranged father, her none-to-stable family, and the ramifications of a decision made long ago, a decision who has returned to his home next door. In a moment of panic, she enlists the help of her best friend to pose as the boyfriend and human shield, a job he is a little too quick to take on. Through the course of the screenplay, the main character struggles with the girl of the past, only to find that said girl no longer exists, and therefore there is no reason to suffer for her anymore.
