OW: Becky is a girl who lives in a place where nothing changes everything seems to go "according to plan" whatever that means.
Call: Her best friend Sami who hasn't been seen in years shows up out of no where with a strange man. The man tells Becky her life isn't all what she thought it was its a lie. He tells her to come with them so she can help them and in return will find out the truth.
Refusal: Becky's life has just been turned upside down by this mans words. She simply runs away from the scene back to her house, not wanting his words to be true but afraid of what she would face if they were.
Meeting Mentor: Sami finds Becky sitting against the huge tree in her back yard. Sami tells Becky that the man came to her first and showed her all the lies. Thats why she hasn't been here for years. She tells her this isn't real and they need Becky's help to stop the people in charge.
Crossing Threshold: Becky trusts Sami and agrees to leave her life behind to go with the strange man and her best friend.
Tests,allies,enemies: Becky soon finds out all she needs to know about who they are trying to stop and what they are doing. She is told to trust no one.
Approach: Becky is scared to go on and refuses moving forward. While Sami tries to get her to come the strange man tells them both the things he's been hiding from them. Becky is soon back on her feet ready than ever.
Ordeal: As they get close to "the ones in charge" they are faced with a dangerous mission that could cause their life. Sami is killed in the mission and Becky breaks down. The strange man tells her there's nothing she can do and carries her away from Sami. Becky is filled with heart ache and anger and finds out she can do a lot more than she ever thought she could.
Reward: They've accomplished the mission and are headed back home to bury Sami.
Resurrection: As they make it back to her town they find the "ones in charge" have gotten there first. They now must fight for their lives.
Return with Elixer: The "ones in charge" are defeated. She learns the truth about her life and sets on a journey to not only find the people she has lost but to help the world back on its feet.

Ordinary World
A hidden past
Abbie Rasmussen is a 25 year old college student who is one of the kindest people you'll ever meet. She smiles at everyone she sees and everyone wants to be her friend (if they're not already). She's always on time and is always where she said she'd be. Nothing really big has ever really happened in Abbie's life. But thats all about to change on Tuesday. When Abbie's closest friend Tiffany comes to visit her, she sees a terrified looking Abbie being taken from the apartment building by men in black suits to a group of black SUV's in the parking lot. When Tiffany goes into Abbie's now broken-in apartment to figure out whats going on she sees a piece of paper with her name on it saying "They've found me and I need your help..."
Questions:
Will Abbie's past be revealed?
Will Tiffany be able to help her?
Will Tiffany take the call to action?
