LOGLINE
The Murphy family, haunted
for generations by a mysterious curse that only affects the men by causing them to experience
increasingly frequent & dangerous bad luck episodes as they age, finally gets a clue that leads them
to discover the genesis of the curse, and that may hold the key to breaking it once and for all, but
doing so may in turn spread the curse to everyone else in the world.
MURPHY’S LAWS is a grounded-in-reality superhero action adventure story about finding the courage to overcome our fears and muster the strength to live our lives defined by what we have to gain, rather than what we have to lose, and explores the theme that our time is short and life is fragile, and that allowing our fears to rule us only makes it all shorter & more fragile.
