Dead Bones Script - - FULL PRODUCTION RIGHTS

Logline

After surviving cancer and adopting a troubled boy, a reclusive wellness guru seeks peace on the cliffs of Big Sur, only to uncover a series of ritualistic killings tied to a forgotten Cold War experiment that threatens to resurrect the dead and consume his family.

Summary

Michael Miller was once a high-flying banker with a perfect life, until the 2008 crash, cancer, and heartbreak stripped everything away. Reborn as a wellness expert, he escapes Los Angeles with his adopted son, Cody, retreating to a weathered shack on Big Sur’s cliffs in search of peace. But peace is fragile when the Pacific hides ghosts.

As a string of coastal beheadings grips California, Michael discovers a terrified biker claiming to have been attacked by a walking skeleton armed with a glowing sickle. When that same cursed weapon appears at Michael’s doorstep, the horror becomes personal. The blade seems alive, draining his strength, whispering through dreams of war and buried bones.

Haunted by visions and driven by a need for truth, Michael’s investigation leads him to Fort Blister, a long-abandoned military base once used for chemical warfare testing. There, he uncovers evidence linking the skeleton hauntings to soldiers who were poisoned, buried, and forgotten. As the dead rise from the surf and his estranged love, Camila, returns with secrets of her own, Michael must confront both human evil and supernatural vengeance.

In the end, Dead Bones is a story of survival and redemption, a haunting exploration of fatherhood, loss, and the lingering cost of man’s own experiments with mortality.
