Twin Factor Trailer

"Hey! Get back here!"

The camera shows a fifteen year old girl, her blond hair pushed up under a black beret, running down a crowded street with a cop not far behind her. She glances over her shoulder and smirks as she sees he's falling behind before rounding a corner onto another street.

The camera fades to show a now fifteen year old Lewis walking down the streets of Todayland, his hands in his pockets as he lets out a sigh.

Four years after his adventure in the future……

Camera zooms out to show the girl flying around the corner and straight into Lewis, sending them both flying to the ground. Lewis stares at the girl, who lets out a gasp when she looks up and see's him.

Lewis Robinson's life will be turned upside down once more

"Who are you?" Lewis asks as the two teens walk down the street side by side.

Scene fades to show a fourteen year old girl wearing an elegant off-white gown of satin with her dark black hair pulled back into a braid stepped forward and extends her hand. "Hi, I'm Franny. You must be Jessie. Cornelius has told me all about you."

While he had been in an orphanage…

"Cornelius, Jessie!" called Lucille breathlessly as she climbed the stairs into the lab, appearing as though she had just run up to them. She was panting and quite pale as the twins quickly walked over to her. She swallowed and said the words Jessie was hoping she should never hear. "Emilia Stevenson is here."

Scene changes to show Judge Anthony Collins sitting on the bench of the courtroom. "Stevenson family, you are hereby charged with the murder of Jason and Amelia Stevenson. Jeffery and Jim, you are also being charged with rape."

She had not been so lucky…

Camera shows Jessie sitting on the edge of the desk in Lewis's lab.

"I asked about my parents and well, they told me what they had done and about that I had a twin brother somewhere. I ran away that night and have been on the streets ever since, using our mothers maiden name and wearing a hat so that they couldn't link the common street thief with their missing granddaughter, and hoping someday that I would met you"

This Winter…

"Wilbur?"

The camera shows Lewis gaping at the sixteen year old boy standing on the street in front of him. The boy named Wilbur smiles at the blond inventor. Lewis raises an eyebrow at him. "What did you do?"

Wilbur shakes his head and raises his hands up in front of him in defense. "Hey, I didn't do anything……this time."

Lewis rolls his eyes and pulls his future son into a hug, Jessie standing a few feet beside them with a look of shock on her face. "Oh my God! You're gay!"

Wilbur and Lewis jump apart quickly, shuddering at the thought. Wilbur sticks out his tongue and gags. "Ew no! He's my dad!"

"Wilbur!"

Wilbur slaps his hand over his mouth and the two boy's look over at Jessie, waiting for her reaction. Jessie just stands and blinks a few times, confused about what Wilbur had said. "Pointy haired boy say what?"

Past meets present…

"Ethan Summers escaped from prison, stole one of the time machine to come back here, almost killing Carl in the process," Wilbur managed to explained in one breath. Lewis looked at Wilbur in confusion. "Who is Ethan Summers?"

"He was a business man that made millions investing in stocks," stated Jessie. The camera swings over to show that she had gone extremely pale. "He also ran a chain of venture's including supplying child prostitutes and slaves to other wealthy businessmen."

The camera swings back around to show Lewis and Wilbur looking at Jessie in curiosity. Lewis swallows, "How do you know this?"

"Because five years ago, I was the traitor that turned him in," Jessie replied softly, looking down at the ground.

And present meets future…

"Do you have any idea where he may have taken them?" asks a frantic adult Franny, her and Cornelius looking down at Jessie as she sat on the couch in the living room of the Robinson Mansion.

Camera zooms in one Jessie's face as she looks up at Franny, and nods."Is the Stevenson Mansion still standing?"

As twin brother and sister…

(I can be strong for you now) Camera show's a beaten and bleeding Jessie hobbling over to the now visible red time machine, clutching her side where she was sure she had several broken ribs.

(You taught me how)Scene changes to show Jessie watching Lewis in amazement as Carl comes to life for the first time.

(I learned from you that I do not crumble) Show's Jessie at her first high school choir concert frozen on stage as she looks out into the crowd. A smile forms on her face as her eyes land on Lewis sitting in the third row from the stage. He smiles and gives her thumbs up as she begins to sing.

(I learned that strength is something you choose) Scene changes to show Lewis biting his lip and looking nervous as he stands before Franny, attempting to ask her out. He spots Jessie in the distance over Franny's shoulder, takes a deep breath and asks.

(All of the reasons to keep on believing) Fades to show Lewis bound to a chair with a gage stuffed into his mouth in a room completely dark save for a single light hanging in the center of the room like a single beacon of hope.

(There's no question that's a lesson) Show's Jessie and Lewis hugging at Jessie's high school graduation.

Attempt to save the future….

"I learned from you," sang Jessie, closing her eyes as she held out the final note of the song. The crowd of the football stadium erupted into cheers. As she lowered the microphone from her mouth, she to her left and saw Franny among her classmates down on the field. She then looked up into the stands and her smile widened as he eyes landed on her mom, dad, and brother.
