Unbound (A Screenplay)

"A suicidal anthropologist learns the value of life when her soul possesses the body of a woman persecuted for witchcraft in 17th Century Scotland." Upon learning she's pregnant after a suicide attempt, Cultural Anthropologist, Sarah Perry, decides she must live long enough to give life to her baby. She returns to her position at the university only to be sent directly to Scotland to examine two mummified bodies discovered in a peat bog. As a specialist in world religions and witch persecutions, Sarah examines tantalizing clues that suggest the bodies were punished for witchcraft during the time of King James VI. Unable to make a determination based on the dig alone, Sarah inadvertently learns more than she bargained for when she steals an amulet worn by one of the bodies and begins wearing it herself, causing her spirit to be transported back into the life of the woman in the bog. Does the amulet really contain supernatural powers that allow Sarah to see through the eyes of a woman who lived four-hundred years ago, or is she actually losing her mind? As Sarah relives events of the past, she must come to terms with her own life in the present-- choices that ultimately affect not only herself, but those she loves...
