Begin at the Beginning
Screenplay: No Working Title

(Resort Community Threatened By Greedy Developing Senator)
Thomas (Tom) Dillion : age twenty-five
Height about six feet
Ruggedly handsome young man
Drifter, and Loner
Never cements enduring relationships
Possibly afraid of commitment always moving never very stable
He is embittered by early experiences (Had returned from the Vietnam War totally disaffected by it. He withdrew from society by going to live on a farm in western New York State. His activism in anti-American Politics causes him to lose the renewal on his operating loan and he loses the farm)
Embittered and totally disgusted with society in general.
He leaves and makes his way to the highest lift serviced mountain in North America to challenge himself and possibly die in the challenge. He has not lost the will to live or fight, on the contrary, he is a warrior of the highest degree. He wants to be left alone, with no responsibility in life.
Consciously he blames society for the loss of his beloved farm and he wants to challenge nature.
He cannot turn a blind eye to the advancement of the Senator and rape of what he considers to be the American Dream.
