dc.description.abstractForward is an ensemble screenplay surrounding a group of friends in their twenties. The main character is Kat. She is a sarcastic 24-year-old who still has a bit of growing up to do. Her story starts with her being so ready to stop thinking of Emma, her best friend and former love of her life. After finally relinquishing this extremely unrequited love, she unexpectedly meets Quinn, a nurse at Urgent Care. As if it were the easiest thing in the world she falls for Quinn, but things are not as they seem. Quinn is holding back something: she has a daughter named Sophia. Is Kat ready to be an instant parent? Is Quinn ready to let Kat in? At Kat's side through the mess of life is Carter, Kat's best friend. His story begins after viewers first see him drink himself into Urgent Care. He puts up a façade of dark humor as his way of dealing with a mother who rarely remembers who he is. Making watching out for his mother becomes all-consuming; he longs to maintain that connection but allows that longing take a toll on his relationships. Emma, the former object of Kat's affections, and Noah, her fiancé, have two major issues they must deal with: their upcoming wedding and an unplanned pregnancy. Whether this young couple is ready for that kind of responsibility is put into question while whether they should even be getting married is already in question. Can their relationship survive these newfound complications? The final storyline woven throughout Forward is about Noah's brother David, an arrogant workaholic, and his wife Laura, a wanderlust struck travel agent. To say they have an unhappy marriage is understating it; their marriage is so far lost at the point their story begins. All that remains is the last straw to break their marriage--and perhaps themselves. Will Laura stay trapped by expectations? Will David fight for his marriage?
