Synopsis/Details

A world famous self-help writer -- broken and dejected from a loss he cannot overcome -- is visited by an enigmatic neighbor who feels she owes him a debt of gratitude for helping her, and many others overcome their battles with grief, inspired by his writings.

Humbled, yet overwhelmed by her story, Nick looks to the past for comfort, wishing that he could go back, even for just a moment, to change the events of a day that led to his seemingly everlasting torment.

But what if that wish came true? How would it change the course of his life, and more importantly, the lives of the ones he helped, albeit through his own terrible grief?

(PLEASE NOTE: This script (Wishbone) was produced and shot under the title: ADRIFTING)

The Writer: J.B. Storey

My writing started when I was nine or ten years old. It took the form of imaginary adventures my many toys would embark upon. It wasn't until after university I discovered a passion for screen and stage. Since then I've written a few features, plays, and short films. Some of which I've been fortunate enough to see produced. Alas, I never had a chance to write to live. So, my writing remains a perpetual passion. I will always write and roam the endless possibilities of the imagination. Because it's what I love. It's who I am; A storyteller. Go to bio
