Brody leaves on a one-week business trip and says three words to Jennifer that neither of them would have imagined would mean so much. He tells her, “don’t forget me”. He says the words in jest, but both Brody and Jennifer will one day realize how important these three words will become.
A freak accident sends Brody’s car off of a thirty-foot embankment on his way back home to Denver. He survived with only one injury, a brutal hit to his head. It’s non-life-threatening, but Brody has lost his memory. He has total amnesia and remembers nothing about his past life. Strangers pick him up and give him a ride back to Denver where he becomes Jessie Adams… a new name and a name new life.
Meanwhile, Jennifer and their three kids have lost the man they love without knowing what happened to him. Without a body, she never gives up hope and refuses to believe that he is dead.

Director's Biography
I'd like to wish everyone the best in their endeavors and I hope you find success in whatever form that comes in.
Writing is one of two loves in my life that I have an absolute passion for. Creative writing blended with creative thinking. Emotion blended with logic. Capturing human experiences in words that invoke an emotional response from the reader.
I have worked at and created content for over 30 years from songwriting, creating online websites and content, TV commercials, and writing TV script and screenplays. I am a successful businessman and own and operate a highly successful internet and media business. Understanding complex cost structures and the details of business is integral to any project, creative writing and scripts are no exception.
I began my creative energy in music at the age of 7, when I got my first guitar. At the age of 16, I began writing and recording songs. I continued to do so for almost 15 years. I majored in English at the University of Calgary and have applied my writing skills in a number of areas, including creative, business, and online content. I founded BRAVADA International in 2007, an internet and media company located in Los Angeles.
As a successful businessman, I understand creative writing is as much an art as it is a business. Everything must have a business case that makes sense. TV is no different. The end product must be compelling and inspire emotional investment to become successful and that means multi-dimensional characters and a gripping story filled with mystery, suspense, and the human experience.
Unique traits: Escaped communist Czechoslovakia when the Soviet Union army invaded during the Prague Spring. I am grateful for my mother and father to have the courage to flee to Vancouver.
