- At a ranch in rural America accompanied with acres of unplanted farm land, evil is allowed to exist. A horrific scarecrow sits in a muddy field. Miles, Elsa Ray's boyfriend, always threatens to burn the scarecrow down, and that would leave Nora with no friends. Nora is a bookworm, light years ahead of her assigned class readings. Miles fashions himself a local gangster in the motorcycle group "The Scorpions." Before Elsa Ray and Miles met, Elsa was dead set on going to Chicago to sing in musical theatre. Miles turned Elsa's dreams around and moved into her house with Nora. Miles began to become violent against Elsa. Elsa constantly, like most abuse victims, tries to justify his actions. Nora and others are aware that Miles is going too far, and it is only a matter of time until the abuse falls on Nora. Miles is also convinced someone is creeping around the house and hiding his wall mounted 12-gauge shotgun. Nora is convinced the scarecrow has come alive for her and is her friend. She speaks to Ceres (The Scarecrow) every afternoon about life, her books, Miles, and leaving for college.
- Title: Guardian Author: Byron Jordan Wolter (Story) and Logan Hunter (Script) Logline: When a teenager desperately wants to leave the rural country and pursue her passions she is met with the challenges of isolation and danger from her mother's boyfriend. She asks her "best friend," a mangy Scarecrow that lurks in a field outside her house for help in escape. Summary: In rural America, at a ranch house that is accompanied by acres of disheveled farmland, evil is allowed to exist. In the field, the mangy Scarecrow has been there since teenage Nora and her mother Elsa Ray moved in. Miles, Elsa Ray's boyfriend, believing he's a strong guard always threatens to burn the Scarecrow down, but that would leave Nora without a friend. Nora enjoys reading her novels while lying on the hill before Cere's (The Scarecrow) metal post. Nora is top of her class and dreams of college. Miles is a constant danger to Elsa Ray; Nora often tells her worries to Ceres (The Scarecrow), and she is normally able to calm her down. Elsa Ray pauses whenever she sees Nora out in the field talking with an inanimate object. But Nora is still her baby, still young in her eyes. Elsa Ray refuses to see that Nora is growing up fast. After a "Fight" with Miles in which Elsa Ray is injured and knocked unconscious, she awakens in her bed tucked in and her injuries are GONE. She wonders if the "fight" happened. It is confirmed when Miles asks if Elsa Ray knew where his wall-mounted shotgun had gone. Someone intervened in the altercation. When Elsa Ray interrogates Nora, Nora says it was Ceres (The Scarecrow). Elsa Ray begins to fear that something horribly wrong is going on with Nora's reality. Nora is dealing with issues of her own because, at school, she is being bullied by her fellow classmates. She asks Ceres to help them escape. After a tumultuous party where a drunken Miles is out of control, Nora confronts Miles. This causes Miles to try to burn the Scarecrow down. A sudden and deafening thunderstorm puts out the fire before it can ignite the Scarecrows duster and hay interiors. Elsa Ray shoots a shotgun into the air and closes the party down. Miles passes out. The ranch house settles into night. When Miles awakens, he goes into Nora's room and awakens her. He touches her stomach in an inappropriate way, and just then Elsa Ray hits Miles with a frying pan. Elsa Ray and Nora try to make their escape, but Miles is only paused by the blow, and counters with extreme violence to both Elsa Ray and Nora. Elsa Ray is knocked unconscious; Nora is left alone trying to survive the out-of-control Miles. Behind them, outside a glass door, a shadow begins to appear walking towards out of the rain. Elsa Ray awakens, she grabs the shotgun and aims it at Miles. 'Click,' no shot. Miles begins to laugh, yelling about how they cannot live without him. The girls pause, and from behind Miles comes the tall and gnarled figure of Ceres through the sliding glass door. Miles turns and Ceres impales him through the eye with her splintered wooden hands. Nora and Elsa Ray escape.—Byron Jordan Wolter
