Logline:

                A young girl gave up her very life to save the world from massive destruction… only to reawaken in a world far more terrifying than the one she died to save.

Premise:

               Buffy Anne Summers was once a fierce warrior. As the Vampire Slayer, she fearlessly combated against the deadliest of vampires, demons, gods, corrupted government agents and saved her hometown Sunnydale from several apocalypses. Unfortunately, Buffy has since lost all of her memories and her sense of self. Teaming up with Dean Winchester, Buffy races to piece together the mysteries behind herself and this world, and to hopefully find a way back home. But little does she know that she is all but a minor part in someone’s much larger (i.e. evil) scheme.

Cast: (Demo Version only)


Buffy Summers
Once a fierce warrior and feared among demons in her original world, she has lost all memories of her former self and fights to return things to normal. She's mostly a sweet young woman, although is prone to sarcasm. She's strong willed, determined and focused, if a little dense at times.

Dean Winchester
In his original world, he and his brother were powerful demon hunters. Unlike Buffy, he remembers his life on the "other side" and wants to find his brother at all costs. He can easily be mistaken for a mindless brute, but he is actually quite intelligent, possessing adequate knowledge about the occult. He's a loyal ally, if brutally honest, and has a tendency to make inappropriate jokes.

Ash J Williams
Ash was once an average S-Mart employee until a trip to a cabin changed his life forever. He was sent into a demon realm, treated as a slave until gaining enough strength to become a demon lord himself. He is desperate to return to his kingdom and is willing to do whatever it takes to get there.

Xena
