3RD DRAFT…..The idyllic life of an adolescent surfer drastically changes when his family moves to pre-revolution Tehran, an American melting pot submerged in an alien culture where certain realities are but an illusion.

Okay, now the story is getting interesting.? ? The fact that his father was a covert operative immediately adds tension to the story. This somehow needs to be worked into the logline.? It's a story hook and story hooks should be? hoisted up the flagpole of a logline -- not buried in the text of the script.? Or to mangle metaphors, loglines need to pitch the sizzle, not the steak.? And having a father who is a covert operative is prime sizzle.

Now, while it may have be SOP for parents not to remain undercover to their kids,? has the teenager figured out the true nature of his father's employment?? At least, does he have suspicions?

Clarification please:? why did his family move to Iran?? (Did his father work in the oil industry?? For the? US Embassy?)

And what personal problem will taking? up falconry help him? to solve? (Drama is about a problem that creates conflict that leads to change.)
