TITLE
 The Seven Seals

LOGLINE
When the world is hit by wars and natural disasters that mirror the Biblical apocalypse, an atheist young woman crosses paths with a Christian college ministry as they struggle to hold onto their morals and survive.  

SYNOPSIS

  Madeline wakes up in a stranger’s home with a fractured memory of the night before, and she realizes she was roofied and pressured into sex. She goes home, and her adoptive mom scolds her for not asking permission to go to the party, nor to sleep over.
 Madeline expects to get grounded, but is instead kicked out of the house because her adoptive mom wants to teach her that she can’t survive the world without her.
 With the help of her friends, Madeline visits all the nearby hotels, but they’re all fully booked. Her friends laugh behind her back, and Madeline realizes they knew she was drugged, yet did nothing to help her. She gets into a fight with her friends and leaves.
On her university’s campus, Madeline tries to book an Airbnb, but her adoptive mom blocked her credit card. A student tries to flirt with her, and she is rescued by another stranger, David. David notices her stress aside from the flirty stranger and tells her that when he’s stressed, he goes to church. He explains that his church even let him sleep there once and invites her to a college ministry event later that evening. Madeline takes up his offer and goes to the modern church. She sneaks upstairs in hopes of squatting there for the night, but is caught and feels obligated to join the college ministry’s service. When it’s over, the room with all her belongings is locked. She runs into David, who invites her to hang out with the other students at the beach.
 Since she has no other option, Madeline joins the students at the beach, but doesn’t fit in with the other girls who gossip about people she has never met. David sees her all alone again, so he tries to be her friend and offers her some food and a drink, but because the drink is already open, Madeline gets mad and storms away, afraid to be roofied again.
At the end of the night, one of the gossiping girls, Zoe, offers to drive her home. Madeline lies and says that she forgot her apartment keys, so Zoe lets her sleep over. The next morning, Zoe tells Madeline that she’s been having apocalyptic nightmares. A cataclysmic earthquake hits: the first sign that the apocalypse has arrived.
