The Unborn Witness

Comps: It’s the abuse-filled revenge of ENOUGH meets the psychological thriller elements of THE INVISIBLE MAN.
Logline: An emotionally-fragile teen, plagued by violent memories from before her birth, is set on a path of vengeance when she recognizes the voice of her bio mom’s killer who is now running for DA.
Why Me/ Why Now: As a victim of domestic violence, myself as well as a forensic nurse who works with domestic violence victims, I read the book The Secret Life of the Unborn Child. Babies in utero can hear and experience their mother’s emotions and events and repeat things afterward. Knowing that I look a lot like my own mother, I wondered if my father would ever admit how he treated her. I did a “What If”. What would happen if I had heard my mother’s murder? What would happen if I was the only one who could recognize the killer’s voice?
