ECHO PROTOCOL
Genre: High-Concept Science Fiction / Psychological Thriller
Format: Feature Screenplay
Logline:
When a former aftercare specialist becomes trapped inside a corrupted memory network, he discovers that his identity was created from another man’s consciousness—and must choose between claiming the family he was never meant to have or sacrificing himself to save the life he was built to replace.
Short Synopsis:
In the near future, people can rent and relive other people’s memories through neural devices called Echo Crowns. Elias Vance, a former aftercare specialist, is pulled into an abandoned experimental system after a corrupted memory appears inside Echo’s public network.
Trapped inside a series of evolving digital worlds, Elias learns that his consciousness has been linked to David Marsh, an unconscious hospital patient. As the system begins merging their identities, Elias starts experiencing David’s memories, marriage, and family as though they were his own.
For the first time, Elias feels that he belongs somewhere—but the life he has fallen in love with belongs to another man. As David’s wife fights to save her husband in the real world, Elias must decide whether his own emerging consciousness deserves to survive, even if doing so means taking David’s place.
What Makes the Project Distinctive:
Echo Protocol combines a commercial sci-fi thriller premise with an emotional identity story. Rather than treating memory technology only as a futuristic device, the screenplay asks a more personal question: if someone inherits your memories, your habits, your love, and your grief, at what point do they become a person in their own right?
The story uses evolving memory environments, psychological suspense, and a recurring two-tap family signal to explore identity, grief, artificial consciousness, sacrifice, and the difference between remembering a life and truly belonging to it.
The screenplay is completed and available for producers, managers, agents, and production companies interested in elevated, character-driven genre material.
I have also included the first 10 pages of the screenplay for anyone who would like to get a sense of the story, tone, and writing style.
