Quoted from Shelton I don't know.  I usually think of a synopsis as a general outline of the story that doesn;t give away too much detail.  That's what treatments are for. I wasn't aware of that "faux pas" when it comes to contests.  I thought they were supposed to judge the script based on the script, not the marketing tools.

Exactly my thoughts. Hence the confusion. Well I'm just gonna get through this synopsis thing and hope they'll judge my script based on its own merits...

I'm getting ready to send out the script this week, so I thought I put up my final synopsis:

SNYOPSIS: Since people disappeared Nicholas has spent his days ravaging food and supplies, and scouring the city for others like him.

Until he finds Ellie, a rattled teenage girl and fellow mute. Together they form an unlikely friendship as they embark on a search for survivors into the heart of the desolate city, using nothing but silent gestures and a notepad to communicate.

They come upon a distress call on a short-wave radio that tells of survivors in an underground subway station - but they don’t know how old the signal is or who's sending it.

The two of them venture into the dark tunnels of the subway towards the signal, but find it’s a trap when they’re attacked by a small group of deranged survivors. The men take Ellie and leave Nicholas for dead on the tracks.

-----------------------------------
In a final surge of strength Nicholas tracks the men to an abandoned train where they’re keeping Ellie. He kills the men in a fit of rage but not before being fatally wounded himself.
-----------------------------------


My question now is, should I include the final paragraph. This is what Mike talked about. I'm pretty much giving away the ending. I actually wanna leave it out, I just wanna make sure, it's not gonna hurt me in some way.

Also, I'm using a modified version of Martin's logline suggestion:

"In a post-apocalyptic city where most people have vanished and the few who remain have become mute, a pair of lost souls form a powerful bond as they search for survivors in the silent, abandoned city.
