A TWIST OF FATE is a romantic thriller about two young adults, childhood sweethearts, whose teenage romance ended abruptly, years ago. It asks the question...
Did FATE reunite Jake and Sam to save each other’s lives?
They met, accidentally on a flight, and the spark between them immediately reignites. Jake, a straight arrow, with a sad persona, bordering on depression due to personal and professional problems. Samantha, quirky and fun loving, is engaged to Carlos, but she doesn’t know about his shady connections.
Sam would dump Carlos in a flash for her first love, Jake, but he is married and loves his wife.
When Sam shows up on the plane, Jake is about to swallow a full bottle of sleeping bills to kill the pain and himself. Sam saves Jake’s life, and he returns the favor when he cheats death to save Sam from a hostage situation, as they finally learn of Carlos's true vocation.
The ultimate dilemma: after saving each other’s lives, can Jake and Sam live without each other? The heartfelt story has a dramatic reveal with an emotional ending.
A young filmmaker from Europe recently completed her first feature film and was looking for her next project. She asked to read the FATE script. After reading it, Anna sent the following note.
While we won't be working on this project together, hopefully we will connect on another film in the future.
