Absolute Freedom Synopsis
Right Wing Los Angeles Christian Preacher, Nathan Koch, loses all his wealth, his house and his wife, after business deals go terribly wrong. Facing jail time and disgrace, Christian decides on a drastic strategy. Killing himself.
After faking his death and changing his ID, Nathan disappears. He is now called Christian Taylor and he moves from Los Angeles to Australia with a new agenda. Angry with his former church, he recreates a totally new life.
He decides to live a hedonistic lifestyle and live for the moment. He meets a young zany hitchhiker, Tara Wheatley, in the Australian Outback and is totally changed from a stiff Conservative to a care free renegade.. Inspired by Tara, he transforms himself totally and into a reckless outlaw of the Australian Outback.
After robbing the worlds largest Opal from opal mine magnate, Len Hancock, Tara and Christian are chased by police and an aggrieved criminal bikie gang, the outback avengers.
That is how it seems. Who really is Tara Wheatly. Why has she super powers that are unexplainable. Why does the CIA based at Pine Gap Tracking station suddenly take an interest and who really are the Outback Avengers.
What seems like the truth is suddenly stripped bare and as layer upon layer of deceit is uncovered, Christian finds himself at the centre of an International terrorist threat that will change the world for ever.
The truly eventful climax will blow every audience expectation into ash. Absolute Freedom is an action adventure turbo charged ride that revels in its unpredictable journey.
Fully developed Screenplay available on request.
