FADE IN:



EXT. SUBURBAN STREET - DAWN

CLOSE ON the anxious, sweating, frightened face of DREW

MacLEOD, 17, running to save her life. Think Dustin

Hoffman in Marathon Man -- someone, something -- is after

her but UNSEEN.

She glances fearfully behind at her mysterious pursuer,

her BREATHING becoming more labored.

Cutting through a deserted park, she leaps a bench.

Above her, the thin morning sun has only begun to lighten

the leaves.

Around the corner, she's back on a sidewalk lined with

beautiful homes, all quiet at dawn, the only noise her

racing FOOTSTEPS and quickening BREATHS.

effort, hurdles a hedge, jumps the stairs and makes the

door, rips it open, bolts inside and SLAMS it shut.
