The Returning
SYNOPSIS
Tyler (33), a hustler with startling green eyes, tattoos and abandonment issues, gambles away his rent on another storage unit. His hardworking, Icelandic girlfriend, Ula has had enough and storms out of the apartment... she’ll be back though, she always returns. Tyler hightails it to his winning storage unit to prove Ula wrong, but as usual she’s right. He blew it - the space contains nothing but an antique bed. Drunk, he falls asleep on the mattress and has a vivid dream of his estranged, dying mother who begs him to return home with the promise of an inheritance. When he awakens, he is convinced that this was not a dream... it was a sign. Rushing home, Tyler snaps up two plane tickets, then uses his charm to sweet talk Ula, who desperately wants to be a mother, into coming along by telling her they’ll use the money to start a family. The couple takes the first flight to Spain catching a ride to where Tyler was born - a remote village located at the base of Mount Anaga, a dark mysterious mountain known for its spiritual energy in both light and dark magic. There, Tyler meets three women, Beatriz, Magdalena, and Iriana who recognize his astonishing green eyes and claim to be his long-lost sisters. They instantly worship him which makes Ula suspicious. Falling deep into The Sisters’ adoration, Tyler cuts his hair, changes his name to Enrique (his birth name) and blindly allows them to perform rituals meant to protect and prepare him for the reunion with his mother. They tell him she lives in a cave deep in the mountain where she’s spent decades praying and fighting an evil who wants to hurt Tyler - all the while she guards a large fortune, she’s amassed for her only son ... just like his dream. Ula, no longer recognizing her boyfriend, runs away in the middle of the night hoping to find answers.
