For My Daughter
a feature screenplay synopsis
by Teri L. Foster
A young woman at a campus party falls for a handsome Nigerian, but his expiring visa forces a trip overseas, where she becomes a prisoner in a plot to beget an heir to his parents’ throne.
Synopsis
LISA DAVIS and boyfriend ABDUL MOHAMMED graduate college, celebrating by introducing Abdul to Lisa’s parents, ROBERT and MICHELLE DAVIS, over a fine restaurant dinner. Despite concerns about their smitten daughter’s choice in men, the Davises say nothing—until Lisa announces she’ll accompany him to Nigeria where he must renew his visa. Alarmed, they remind her she’s known Abdul only six months.
Excited to visit a new land, Lisa assures her parents she’ll be gone but three weeks, and promises frequent messages. Landing in Nigeria, Abdul tells Lisa she’s going to have the trip of a lifetime. Escorted by her dashing beau, Lisa’s meeting with his mother and father—RASHAD and ZOLA MOHAMMED—and touring their lavish home makes her a believer.
During this jaunt, Lisa senses in Abdul a shift toward the negative. Worse, her cell phone and passport go missing; there’s no way to contact Mom and Dad. Abdul makes absurd excuses for why they can’t return to the States—then vanishes. Moved abruptly to smaller quarters with other women, Lisa is shocked to learn—like the others—she’s a prisoner. Mere chattel serving as an incubator for Abdul’s plot to beget an heir to the throne of his family’s estate. Unable to reach Lisa, Robert (a former navy SEAL) and Michelle uncover disturbing information about not only Abdul, but his drug-running/money laundering parents. Finally, Robert and crew destroy the Mohammed’s illegal businesses and rescue Lisa—only to discover she’s pregnant.
Months later, exiting a doctor’s office, Lisa, new baby NOAH, and Michelle run into DAVID—an old friend of Abdul. David says he’s recently seen him in Atlanta. The women cut him off and leave the scene, now fearing that Abdul is hunting for Noah.
Lisa and Michelle vow to do whatever it takes—anything—to protect the baby.
