the courtyard. A spotted dog is in front of the house,
barking, though we cannot hear him. The vision becomes
completely clear, for an instant - clear enough to see the
face of a young boy at the window.
CLOSE on Reting Rinpoche. Looking. Searching.

SUZlE TOLLER, a boyish brunette, seated nearby, but with just
enough space between her and everyone else to mark her as a

INT. STONE ROOM - DAY
No windows. The Hooded Man enters. In the center of the room
a CIRCLE has been drawn. Bordering the circle are hundreds of
CANDLES, forming a ring of fire. A MAN stands in the center,
his head bowed -- his weight supported by thick ROPES around
his wrists that are fastened to a wooden beam which runs the
length of the room.

CAFETERIA - DAY
Fun-time. Total chaos. If youve been to high-school you know the riff.
Bad food, teen-age melodrama, and a squadron of SUPERVISORS trying to keep
a lid on things.
ALEX
makes her way to the far corner of the cafeteria where a cluster of kids
lounge around a table. These are Alexs FRIENDS. And while none of them
are your garden variety pocket-protector-type nerds, these k
