Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum but whatever I have read so far seems like its filled with awsome talented people. So I thought I should also give it a shot. Having a lil difficulty coming up with a tight logline. Kindly help please
Genre- Horror/Action
Synopsis-
Vikram,a 13yr old boy,runs away from his village after getting tired of trying to live upto his father's ideas of honestly,peace and patriotic jingoism. As fate would have it, he ends up becoming an insurgent against the oppresive government. Ten years have passed on since and Vikram after completing his last assignment (of blowing up a railway station) is finally heading back home, hoping to ask for forgiveness from his mother and father. Hoping to get rid of this feeling of guilt that has lived inside him for the past ten years.
His village is still 30 miles from the nearest town and he gets on the last bus of that week.
But midway his bus is attacked by a group of infected-humans/zombies (That year had seen an ant-explosion in the region. Infection has spread from the crop covered in the larvae. Infected humans have developed hive-like mentality and evolved to super organism like ants/bees. They have a "queen" which orders them to do everything. Foragers by nature)
After surviving the attack with 3 other people from the bus he sets out on foot to save his parents.
Weapon-less,shelter-less armed only with the guerilla skills that he learnt being the thing he hated the most,
he would stop at nothing to reach his goal.
Would he able to quench the fire that burns inside him by seeking forgiveness?
What would happen when others know of his true identity?
Would he able to save the lives of closest to a family he has ever made (other surivors)?
Other Members-
Professor- A 40 something old man, who gave up his dream job to be a lecturer in America for helping out young ones of war strife rural india. Hates Insurgent and violence in general. Reminds VIkram a lot of his own dad.
Boy- An orphan who studied in the same school where the professor taught. Parents were casualties of a bomb blast in town. Starts considering Vikram his idol as story progresses.
Woman- In her mid 20s. Recently widowed who was going to get "Sati" a day after.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sati_%28practice%29
Had seen the ugliest side of humanity as it is.
I came up with
""An insurgent on his path to salvation must stand his ground and protect his quasi-family from an army of zombies"
Any suggestions?
Thank you
