Synopsis "The View from Hawking's Bridge"
The View from Hawking's Bridge is the story of one man's struggle through the aftermath of a family tragedy. Three years ago, Jackson Hawking was left traumatized not only by his father's final act, but his final words, words which forced Jackson to question every vision he had for his own future. Rejecting his father's words would have meant rejecting his father's life value, and that was something Jackson just could not do. And so he was left with one choice - to set off in search of the man he was loathe to understand by fulfilling his unrealized dreams. That meant abandoning the beloved ancestral mill, along with Ma and Boyd and Natalie. Natalie - the girl Jackson had always seen as a grounding force, keeping him rooted in his heritage, his family and his faith, but whom his father swore would be the rock tied to his neck, drowning him in a miserable existence of tragedy and failure.Three years have passed since Jackson accepted his father's words as truth and left it all behind. Now he finds himself forced to return home when Boyd calls with bad news about Ma's health. Jackson arrives full of resentment for having to return to the "mother of all triggers", the very place his father chose to take his own life. The guilt he feels for leaving his family in the midst of their grief overwhelms him. They have no idea that he has been living a lie for quite some time now. They also know nothing of the terrifying visions which paralyze him with fear.Jackson soon discovers Ma has secrets of her own, one of which is that Natalie has been working alongside her in the mill the whole time he's been gone. How could she after he'd flat out rejected her? He'd made it very clear how wrong they were for each other and that she should move on. When Jackson left, he was convinced he'd never see Natalie again and that any feelings he'd had for her washed down river with his father's lifeless body. Now they will have to find a way to work side by side when all he wants to do is run from her. Or does he? Jackson finds himself hopelessly caught between his father's final words and his own desires. Had he done the right thing in honoring his father, or had he been foolish to believe the rantings of a desperate man? When tragedy threatens to strike again, the pressure builds. Something has to give. Jackson prays it's not his own sanity.
