Feature Film Script Development - ‘The Summit Between Us’

LOGLINE:

On the brink of divorce, a tightly wound Los Angeles lawyer and her emotionally elusive husband embark on a treacherous alpine hike in the San Gabriel mountains - hoping to save their marriage, but forced instead to survive a psychological and physical reckoning that exposes everything they’ve avoided.

SHORT SYNOPSIS:

Daphne, a disciplined and justice-driven lawyer, and Elliott, her creative but deflective furniture-designer husband, attempt one last effort to fix their unravelling marriage: a multi-day hike on Mount San Antonio, dubbed the “Truth Trek.”

What begins as a tense walk through emotional landmines quickly becomes a raw survival ordeal when fog, injury, and separation strand them in the wilderness. Confronted by cold, fear, wild animals, and their own inner fractures, each is forced to reckon with long-suppressed truths.

Through flashbacks, hallucinations, and moments of hard-won humour, the couple confront the layers of resentment, missed signals, and lingering love that defined their marriage. In the silence between mountains and within the wilderness of their own hearts, they must decide if what’s broken can be rebuilt—or if some things are meant to be ended by Truth.
