FORGERY

Amy Hutchins

LOGLINE:
A disillusioned father and his teenage daughter grapple with
the consequences of having their memories erased and replaced with fake ones, a process called "forging," in an unsuccessful attempt to heal long-standing dysfunctional family dynamics.

SYNOPSIS:
Shortly after he beats his wife nearly to death, Dan Foster’s life sentence is commuted on one condition: he must agree to undergo a secret, experimental procedure known as forging.
Dan’s old, traumatic memories are erased and new ones are implanted in order to keep him from acting out violent tendencies ever again.
He’s sent home where he spends the next 6 years in relative peace with his wife and two daughters – until one day, when he snaps and almost kills his 16-year-old daughter Amy.

Or does he?

Dan and Amy find themselves on parallel paths to uncover the truth in a world where no one seems to share the same version of events. And in the process, they try to rediscover themselves—and one another.
