War erupts between Muslims and Christians in Asia Minor’s
biblical land of Ur, and few realize 90-year old genocide survivor and former
diplomat, Enza Abrahamian holds the key to peace but she is about to throw
herself off a cliff on Mother’s Day! While rescuers try desperately to save her
from herself, Enza’s family on the other side of the world are unaware of the
crisis and they bicker and jockey for control of her sizeable estate while
stuck in a revolving rooftop restaurant.
Still well-known and
capable Enza takes this drastic course to focus the world’s attention on a fresh
conflict raging between Christian Tigranians and Azeri Muslims in the rugged mountains
of Noah’s biblical Ark. Because peace negotiations have failed and her natural
life is ending she chooses a last resort, a desperate final act to pressure
opposing forces back to negotiations and forge a lasting peace between her
people and their mortal enemies going back 1400 years. But, before her
ultimatum winds all the way through an international chain of events and involves
the White House and the President, Enza is near death on the mountainside. Staff
debates sending a Special Ops unit into some of most treacherous terrain on
earth in worsening weather, for a perilous rescue mission. The shocking series
of twists in the last act will put you off your seat in a outrageous way!
Who are Noah’s Descendants? Who isn’t? This is an affirming
family drama wrapped inside a global action/thriller, a fact-based tale of
redemption and reunion filled with suspense, laughs and violence along the
lines of "Life Is Beautiful." With a clock ticking in real time, the scars of
genocide are played out on one of the worst and the best possible Mother’s Day
ever. That is "Noah’s Descendants." This is a lead spanning Enza’s extraordinary
life that female stars will want to play.
