The Return of Papa Bois
Logline: When a man is found clinging to life, a detective listens to an elaborate tale of a vengeful return of Papa Bois, the Urban Legend of Trinidad, attacking the passengers and crew. Is there any truth to his story, or is it a lie to cover up his own heinous crime?
Summary: A man is questioned by a detective to determine how he came to be found mortally wounded, naked and clinging to life, before being saved in the emergency room by surgeons in a Trinidadian Hospital. Over the course of questioning, the patient spins a wild tale that must be stitched together and confirmed to see if he is telling the truth or covering up a more heinous crime. At the onset of the story there were seven men, now he appears to be the lone survivor with a story detailing the return of an urban legend known as Papa Bois being responsible for the deaths of the passengers and crew.
