Chasing Destiny Synopsis



SYNOPSIS

In the 60's Jet James (Christopher Lloyd - "My
Favorite Martian", "Baby Geniuses", "Back To The
Future") ruled the top of
the rock 'n' roll charts and lived a life of riches. 
Thirty years later life has changed for Jet.  All the
money he had made was
gone, even his prized possession, a priceless Mustang
convertible is about to be repossessed by Bobby Moritz
(Casper
Van Dien - "Starship Troopers") a relentless yet
charming debt collector.  Jet's life is definitely  on
a downward spiral and to
make matters worse his health is failing him.

With the news of Jet's health problem, his estranged
daughter, Jesse (Lauren Graham - "One True Thing"),
arrives in Los
Angeles.  As a child Jesse always came second to Jet's
music and Hollywood lifestyle.  Hence Jesse grew up
feeling
neglected by her father, but now she knows it is time
to make amends.

Jesse is greeted by Nehemiah (Roger Daltrey - The
Who), Jet's life-long friend and a member of his band.
 While Jesse and
Nehemiah reminisce, they receive harassing phone calls
from Bobby who uses humiliating and threatening 
tactics in his
attempt to repossess Jet's classic car.

Days later, Bobby accompanies a co-worker to repossess
Jet's Mustang which is hidden behind a Chinese
restaurant.  As
fate would have it, Jesse shows up at the exact same
time.  Bobby, on seeing Jesse, is instantly captivated
by her.  He
impulsively  stops the task in hand and in
appreciation for his kindness, Jesse invites him for
dinner.

As the evening progresses Jesse opens up to Bobby. 
She tells him that she needs to resolve the problems
with Jet.  She
also complains about a debt collector, Robert Moritz,
who has been hassling her dying father.  Bobby manages
to keep his
identity a secret.  He is falling for Jesse and is
afraid to tell her that he is the infamous Mr. Moritz.
 Instead, Bobby reveals
his passionate and poetic side.

With the morning, comes Bobby's true identity.  Jesse
is devastated and feels betrayed.  In a fit of rage
she rushes off to
visit Jet in hospital.

On arriving at the hospital, she finds out that
Nehemiah has kidnapped Jet.  She heads back home only
to discover Jet,
Nehemiah and Bobby engrossed in conversation.  She
demands that they leave allowing her time alone with
her father.

Jet passes away peacefully.  Nehemiah gets the old
band together and they throw a huge 60's style house
party in Jet's
honor.  Bobby arrives in Jet's car.  In an emotional
climax we ask....  Will Bobby convince Jesse that she
is his destiny?
