The Pendant (aka Wolfhound) is now entered into the NIFF screenwriting completion for 2016.
Here's the Logline and Synopsis:
Logline: After he and his family are taken hostage by a band of murdering home invaders, a college student discovers that the key to their survival lies in a pendant he received on his tenth birthday.
Synopsis:
On his tenth birthday Chance Keller, Jr. an only child and a fan of classic monster movies, received a pendant bearing the crest and motto of his fathers army unit- the Wolfhounds. It was a gift which Chance cherished for no other reason than it came from his father, a man of fierce devotion to God, his country, and his family. But the pendant was more than just a piece of metal for there was dark power in the inscription it bore, We are Wolfhound.
Then, twelve years later, just before Thanksgiving during Chances junior year of college, Chance, Sr. is killed in Afghanistan and the loss drives Chance Jr. to disavow the Almighty and shun the God his father so strongly believed in.
A year later, while home for Thanksgiving, Chance's home is invaded by a gang of murderous thieves and all those whom Chance loves are in peril of losing their lives. Helpless to save his family from certain death, Chance finally learns the lesson of the pendant and reconciles with the Almighty. And in return for his life of faith the deceased Chance Sr. is called from the grave as a man-sized, bone-crushing, version of his unit's mascot- the Wolfhound to save his family from certain death.
But the monster is not indestructible and Chance Jr. must race against time to save the hapless creature by returning it to the grave from whence it came before sun up or else his fathers soul will be lost to an eternity in Hell.
