are both killed over a secret project called "Project Lazarus".

Sub-Plot: Rebecca Bradford is an antiques dealer, unfortunately her death
had nothing to due with her real problem involving the Chinese Triad.
Or did it? ...

Weeks before her death, a chinese dealer wanted to get rid of his inventory
0f chinese antiques since he was going out of business. Or at least this is
What the man told Rebecca when he sold her the stuff at below wholesale price.

The truth was this man was a member of the Chinese triad in new York.
The Buddha statues he sold her contained heroine, and crack cocaine.
The triad had hoped that they could keep the drugs out of their hands
until it was safe for them to traffic the drugs again. They knew that they
were being watched by the U.S. government.

Which is where the FBI gets involved. Including Rebecca's husband, Jhonathon.
The FBI had sent Jhonathon to retrive a disc containing information on an illegal
secret project called "Lazarus". The disc was given to him by the scientist whom
was in charge of the project. Dr. Lazarus himself.

Before his wife was killed over the project, the FBI were in talks with an D.E.A.
Aegent named Chen Chio, who was acting on a lead about a drug smuggiling case he was
working on. He was told that the triad were in business with Michael Carmine
the C.E.O. of Biotech Industries. The same company involved with the secret project.

Now Johnathon,and Agent Chio along with their alliesmust solve this case, and bring an
end to the triad problem in NY City.

Advanced Plot:

The story opens on Christmas eve,in New York City. It's cold as heck,but that doesn't stop people's Christmas spirit. There are Santas by store fronts collecting money for charity,but you can't find our main characters there. They unlike most are not shopping,instead they celebrate at the local night club,called "Club Raven". This is no normal club,it's owned by Sarah,whom we saw in the first film.

The main character Rebecca Bradford had gotten married on March 31st of 1999. They wanted a April wedding,but since her husband to be had gotten a promotion with the FBI,they had to have their wedding a day early,so he could be back in time for work the following week. She gets killed on christmas day,at 12:00 am,Their child to be was supposed to be born on new years day. The story takes place in the year 1999,which is inbetween the first and second movie,it's set in New York City.

In the story,Detective Darryl Albrecht,had a transfer from Port Columbia Police,to NYPD,and was promoted to Captain. Albrecht was off duty on Christmas eve,and was one of the first to arrive at the Crime scene. Rebecca died almost immediately,from a fatal wound to the chest. Sadly her unborn daughter died soon after. Her husband Johnathon surrvived the attack.

Elsewhere at a mile from the city,a man named Lazarus was murder along with his father at a company called BioTech Enterprises. BTE specializes in the medicial field,doing biologicial experiments,and testing of experemental drugs. Lazarus's father was a scientist that was head of a secret project,being conducted without public knowldege,called Project Lazarus.

Dr.Lazarus,named the project after his,and his son's last name,it was a project that dealt with creating artificial immortality. This was done through the manipulation of the human DNA genome,mixed with other DNA to bridge the gap. The ceo,and owner of BioTech made a deal with the government's "human genome" project,which cost U.S. Tax payer's billlions of dollars a year. In exchange for DNA samples,and conducting risque experements,BioTech would recive a wealthy sum of money,and be exempt from paying tax yearly.

Scene Breakdown:
The film technically opens at a graveyard as a Crow is perched on a tombstone,freezing rain beins to fall. Then the bird takes flight into the air,and flies through the city until it stops at a nightclub called Raven. Three of the main characters stand in line awaiting to enter the club. As they enter the club we see the same bird from the begining of the film,the three enter the club.

Karen comments on how she never really gets anything nice for Rebecca,or Johnathon. The three joke around until the crowd behind them yells for them to enter the club.,now inside they order drinks. (Rebecca orders a non-alchoalic drink.) Rebecca's friend Karen aproaches a man that she has her eyes on,she passes two strange men one with a tatoo of a dragon,the other with a scar on his right eye.

The two strange men follow Rebecca's Husband Jonathan they attack him for reasons unknown to us a fight breaks out in the club. The club's owner stops the fight,she has her bouncers escort the two men out of the club and apologizes for the inconvenience. John heads to the men's room to clean his wounds,and washup the drinks that were spilled on him, as Rebecca talks to the club owner. We learn that she once lived in Detroit,and she works during the day at a tatoo parlor.

She is wearing a locket,when Rebecca asks about it she opens it,revealing a photo of a young man and a woman,the photo looks like it was burnt,or torn. The locket contained a photo of Eric Draven ans Shelly Webster. She says that her name is Sarah,and came to New York to finish school. Jonathan comes back,and as Karen leaves with the man she met,she gives Becki her powder kit and a stick of black lipstick. Karen says,it's a Christmas gift,and she promises to make it up to them next year.

Rebecca and Jonathan decide to head home. As the two of them leave we see the Crow take off again. They pass a few stores that are open late night for last minute christamas shoppers it begins to snow,looks like it's a white christmas.

At home Rebecca and Jonathan,fool around in bed,before going to sleep Rebecca looks at the small room setup for their soon to be daughter,baby crib,dolls,stuff animals and everything you would expect to see in a baby room. That night as they slept,their appartment was raided and ransacked by a gang of masked thugs. They were looking for a computer disk. When the four thugs break in, the young couple Rebecca Bradford and Jonathan Parker were in bed sleeping,until they are woke up by the noise. The thugs completely ransacked their home,and destroyed most of their personal belongings. They continue to look for the disk,now to be discovered to contain important documents.

In their search the find themselves in the master beadroom,the leader of the group demands that Jonathan hands over the disk,Jonathan swears he doesn't have it. This is when the figh breaks out between the leader of the thugs and Jonathan. Meanwhile the other remaining thugs search for the disk.

The leader as of yet unnamed shoots his gun at Jonathan's right sholder,which slows him down. Rebecca leaps to her husbands rescue,he shoves her back onto the bed and tells her to stay out of it. The other thugs come in to help the lead thug,and both Rebecca and Jonathan try to fight them off. Rebecca's black cat "Salem" leaps onto the leader and the now temporary blinded man accidentally fires off the gun in his hand,one shot goes into Jonathan's leg. The leader tosses the cat and it runs into the next room, he aims his gun at Rebecca and fires three shots into her,one hit her stomach and two hit her chest. One of the thugs says he found the disk,they all take off in fear of the police.

Rebecca lays in the bed bleeding heavily and her breathing slowing down to a hault. Jonathan lays injured while putting blame on himself for what happened. Minutes later the police and an ambulance arrive,we see from an overhead shot a black crow perched on the rooftop,as the body of Rebecca Bradford now in a body bag is put in the ambulance,Jonathan also enters the ambulance to ride with his dead wife.

We cut to the church interrior,a minister is giving an ulogy of the life and death of Ms.Rebecca Bradford. After the ceremony we are now at the Heritage Green cemetary,where a series of vehicles pull into the burial site. Afterward Jonathan lays a bouque flowers near her headstone,it reads "In loving memory of Rebecca Bradford" 1974-1999

Later that night a strange crow is perched on the headstone across from Rebecca's. The dirt below is pushed out and part by part the Rebecca Bradford emerges from the depths of here grave. worn out, exausted,pale,and unaware of her surroundings she finds the crow. Apon the crow resting on her arm she experiences a set of flashbacks,she witnesses her own death,and see her own funeral through the eyes of bird. It is then she hears a voice with in her own subconcious,the voice is crackled and deep,it tells her to follow the bird. After Rebecca returns from the grave,she's not quite sure where or who she is at first, She finds and follows a strange crow back to her former home. As she enters she is confronted by a nosey neighbor warns her that it is not a good idea to go in,because it's not safe. Rebecca asks why,the neighbor says because some one had died in there.

Rebecca is worried and breaks the door in. Apon entering the room she notices that there is police tape everywhere,she runs into the bedroom crying. She has a set of violent flashbacks, they are painful and difficult think of. She remembers that painful night where she and her unborn child died. She finds and puts on some new clothes and enters the bathroom. Then another set of flashbacks occour In those falshbacks she remembers the photos in the locket,there seems to be more focus on the photo of Eric Draven as the crow,she sees the strange makeup on his face. She looks in the mirror and finally notices that something isn't quite right about things. She runs her hands down to her stomach and pulls her shirt off and rubs her stomach,she now knows that her baby didn't survive. She smashes the mirror,and flips out.

This is where the spirt of the crow takes over. She digs in the underneath cabinet,tossing out junk until she finds a canister of makeup. She begins smearing the white colored make up on her face,then puts on black lipstick,then goes in the bedroom closet and finds another black outfit. It's the type of thing she would wear at a night club. Now on the roof of the building it's still raining down hard. A black bird flys on her arm,it's a crow. She ponders why she is "here" meaning still alive when she should be dead,she asks the crow to guide her,Then she has a set of strange visions of a man wearing a ten gallon hat his face is scared and he speaks to her. He tells her that she was brought back for a reason,he also tells her that she works for the dead,and that the bird is her guide between the land of the living and the land of the dead,his final warning was that she should not interfer with thing not directly linked to why she was brought back,that there are consequences. The bird takes off she follows it. This is the voice of Skull Cowboy,the bird acts as a link to all other lost souls.

Eventually we see a motorcycle from above we follow it,and the crow come into the picture,it's following the motorcycle. This is as far as I've gotten before I stoped working on the script,but What I had planed was that she find's her husband,he is in shock,and her friend Karen is there as well,and they're not sure why they are seeing thier dead friend. After Rebecca explains that she was brought back and after some disbelife they talk it over. The three after realizing that they are "blessed" with her return,talk about that night she died. She wants revenge for their child's death. He says no,because he doesn't want to lose her again. She doesn't listen and goes after the people that killed her,and her child. The find out who killed her because of the police records,they track them down one by one. She finds out about the location of the person that hired the guy that killed her,but not before saving the life of her friend from the same guy that killed her. Eventually she will have found the so called "crime boss" whom has connections with The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Later she finds and teams up with Lazarus who also was brought back by the crow,to right wrongs in their former lives.

The crime boss/ceo of BioTech knows who she is and he knows of the ledgend of the Crow,he tries to kill her so he can get her "power",Rebecca tries to kill him, but Lazarus stops her,saying that she would be no better than him "the crime boss",so she lets him live. The next scene is of the police arresting him. The two lovers are together again,she sees that she is still bleeding from her cuts. We know that "the crow" can't die. We learn that she is alive once more,they were given a second chance at life. The final scene will be that of Skull Cowboy watching Rebecca and her husband leave. He will say soemthing to the effect that "I warned her,and she will pay for what she did." We will see a baby inside of Rebecca,and here it's heart beat,followed by flashes of the Crow bird and the screen will shatter out like glass breaking.

The End.
