The Passing

A “Shotgunmedia” FILM
WRITTEN BY Shay Logan

Disease has spread and a third of the population has perished.
Those with the disease die after exactly 9 days with only one symptom (they cry blood)

The few people left live in underground bunkers in small pockets around decimated cities, wearing bio-suits to combat the outbreak

Eric’s wife has recently contracted the sickness, by accidentally ripping her suit.
Without thought Eric lovingly takes his own suit off hoping to nurse her through the 9 days and end his life with her…although, he does not contract the disease.

The word is out; he is the only man in his small village or maybe even the world, known to have had no effect from this disease
Men in black bio suits arrive hell-bent on taking him away with anticipation of finding a cure!

The problem… his infected wife is not permitted to follow.
Will he see his wife to the grave? Or will he unwillingly submit to humanity’s needs?

All Eric wants is the 8 days it will take for his wife to die peacefully, as long as he is by her side at the moment of death, he would be content to have any test performed on him…but the men in black, have different plans.

A chase ensues across baron land, where will they hide? What will they eat? How will he stop his malevolent pursuers? Could he kill his wife before her 9 days are up? Without modern day weapons available this would be a task any loving man would loathe.

He is civilizations only hope and he’s on the run...
