Displacement

Have you ever wanted a second chance? To give someone a gift you weren't able to give? Tell them you loved them one last time? These are the questions at the heart of DISPLACEMENT, a character-driven time travel story that explores themes of love and loss, the power of forgiveness, and the consequences of turning back the clock.

All of this within the context of a mind-bending thriller that follows brilliant young physics student Cassie Sinclair (Courtney Hope) as she attempts to solve the murder of her boyfriend Brian (Christopher Backus) while battling short-term memory loss, mysterious pursuers, severe physical distress and time slips caused by a quantum entanglement event.

Grieving over the death of her mother (Susan Blakely) to cancer, Cassie must find a way to reverse the deadly time anomaly and solve the mystery of Brian’s death, all while avoiding a shadowy organization that is dogging her every move, sending Cassie on a journey that will shake her very core, setting off a chain of events that brings her to the brink of complete emotional and physical collapse.

In order to untangle the anomaly, Cassie seeks counsel from her old physics professor (Bruce Davison), encounters her estranged physicist father (Lou Richards) and finds herself being repeatedly interrogated by the mysterious Dr. Miles (Sarah Douglas) all of which reveal clues that lead her further down a path toward discovery and potential redemption. But at how steep a price?
