Development Pitch
Part First: Onionhead. Tihomir learns at age 13 he will inherit his father's curse as vessel for ancient demon Onionhead. Tihomir enters a state of despair after his police officer father is killed by Onionhead. Tihomir becomes obsessed to find a cure against the 600 year old family curse. Part Second: Zoner. Tihomir, now mentally scarred by Onionhead's dominant presence, becomes exposed to a mysterious blue liquid while completing an employment assignment task as an insurance investigator at Doctor Zeis' chemistry lab. Tihomir disappears because the blue liquid and Onionhead battle within Tihomir's body and soul for dominance. The struggle turns him into a Cratch: a creature part crow, part rat, and part roach. While Tihomir learns the ways of the Cratch, he discovers his father's police officer friends tried to set up his father to be murdered to avoid exposure of their own illegal activities. Tihomir wrecks revenge upon them. Further city damages caused by mentally unstable Tihomir result in FBI investigation. A fight to the death results in significant injury to Tihomir. Roman Catholic Brother Henry happens upon the injured but alive Tihomir laying in a street. Much later, after Tihomir's erotic evening with a downtown club stripper, his daughter Sylvia is born of Cratch blood. Bro. Henry informally tutors her to become a scientist who will investigate and resolve apocalyptic premonitions of Earth destruction. Part Third: Ave Megiddo. Sylvia's journey and destiny begins.
