AN ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY

Boulder High

Nineteen-year-old Faye is one of many naïve girls sexually victimized on university campuses. Shamefaced, she just wants to put it behind her. But against her wishes, her mother has the assailants fully prosecuted and imprisoned. She then exhausts every avenue to help her fragile daughter heal from the trauma and feelings of betrayal from her mother and now distant friends. After an attempted suicide, angry and bitter, Faye is sent to Colorado to live with her estranged father, a recovering alcoholic and workaholic psychiatrist.

Though he tries to hide it, Faye discovers that her childhood, Boulder home has been leased out and become a marijuana grow operation above the state’s legal limit and off the tax books. She at first denies that her father could be involved. Until she discovers that he is bankrupt in spite of his successful practice. Faye feels guilty because child support and her college tuition are part reasons for his money problems. She realizes that to return to school she will need to help herself.

Her father prohibits her, but cannot stop her, from joining the operation managed by twenty-four-year-old Trey. He is also her father’s patient scarred by losing his mother in a car accident his senior year of high school. Faye, like Trey, immediately invests all of her time and energy into caring for plants in vegging and budding stages. As she does, she begins to heal and establishes new friendships. And trust and care deeply for Trey. They become two wounded souls that will always grow together and be connected by bud-love.

Faye mends the relationship with her parents and heads back to college paying her way. With her father’s permission Trey follows her back to California to start his life over.
