Immortals

There are those who walk among us who know, who feel, they are destined for more. This feeling sometimes drives one to seek power through acts of greatness or acts of greed, to perform phenomenal feats via bravery or through tyranny. Whether in the name of themselves or in the name of their god, such people exist among us. But power never comes without a price. SYNOPSISImmortals begins with Stone Anderson, a husband and a father of three who one day finds himself feeling rather odd. Something that has been dormant within him is suddenly beginning to stir. He experiences flashes of memories and images that he cannot place. Stone pretends everything is fine until his family leaves to go about their days. Then in the kitchen, it happens. He is struck with pain of incomprehensible intensity, as if every nerve ending is being set ablaze, leaving him screaming and uncontrollably clawing at his body as it changes. His flesh and bones are stretched, making his body larger and more muscular. His eyes morph from their original brown to a chilled slate gray. His head throbs as if it would split in half while his senses amplify. Memories from millennia past flood his conscious mind, overwhelming him with doubt and confusion. The pain finally passes. Stone rises from the floor as a different man, a different being. He knows what he is-an immortal. And he's not alone...He has spent the past forty years being Stone Anderson, but now he and his family are faced with the impossibility of this new situation, a situation where his children, having also been affected by this change, must face immortality themselves. His wife, Hope, must learn where she fits in as a mortal. The family navigates both internal and external conflict, and Stone fights the desire to use his powers for corruption. Through kidnappings, a hostile media, terrorism, and even alien species, Stone and his family must either stick together or fall apart.
