The Eternal Sleep original screenplay
Synopsis/backstory: We all wonder what happens after the final closing of our eyelids, neuroscientist Dr. Jacquelyn Walsh is no different. The only thing that could separate her from your average person is rather than the traditional view most people have of death being a passage into another higher realm, Jacquelyn believes it’s actually just a continuation we visit on a nightly basis. She claims to know that dreams are in actual fact eternal life and that we already know where heaven and our souls reside – our minds.
Despite rampant cynicism from colleagues in her field, the specialist is hellbent on testing and researching her theories. She has been evaluating sleep for many years at an institute her grandfather started but as the years have gone by the sleep testing has expanded. She has now reached a point where she feels she has a grasp on this theory and looks to enlist eager sycophants to help her take those goals to fruition.
Set in New York City in 2010, The Eternal Sleep straddles the questions of life after death and the moral choices individuals can make about their own lives.

Broken English Books
Broken English Books is not a polite publishing house. We are an independent force for cinematic storytelling, literary fiction, and unfiltered art that refuses to play by the rules. Our world is global, but our voice is personal—born from the raw intimacy of memoir, the grit of underground art, and the cinematic sweep of film.
We sell directly to readers because we believe stories shouldn’t be filtered through boardrooms or trend forecasts. Every book, screenplay, and film we release carries depth, quality, and the kind of subtle power that lingers long after the last page or final frame.
This is a home for indie lovers who crave no-holds-barred honesty, for the art scene that thrives in the shadows, for those who believe literature and cinema should challenge, not comfort. We are self-published by choice, so the work you hold in your hands is untouched by compromise—just the way it was meant to be experienced.
Broken English Books is more than a publisher. It is a manifesto for the unafraid, a cinematic rebellion in print and on screen.
