Screenplay One

The story begins in Beirut and takes us on a journey from the opium dens of San Francisco to Washington and the CIA. The fear of what could be will chill you to the marrow. While the compelling power of love and love lost in our screenplay will touch all of humanity, the plot is much more complex than that of a simple love story. Jacqueline, our heroine, is a vivacious woman of intense desires. Her lust for life, love and justice are all deeply ingrained. She falls in love with a handsome lawyer from the Ivy League who is also a CIA assassin. The secrets that he reveals will be the catalyst for Jacqueline's sabotage of technological developments that are born of political subterfuge and nurtured by the CIA.

This screenplay is based on the first novel by author Claudette Walker, "To Love The Rose (Is Washington Stoned?)", published by Abacus Books, Inc. This story is now being brought to movie life by including portions of the sequel novel, THORN (of the Rose), which is scheduled for release soon.

"In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men the great difficulty lies in this:
you must first enable the government to control the governed, and in the next place, oblige it to control itself".
Alexander Hamilton
