A reluctant psychic’s near death experience reveals her soul family is trapped in karmic loops; unless she finds the strength to confront her narcissistic mother by using her psychic abilities to uncover their past life mistakes they’ll remain trapped reliving the same life and death experiences for eternity.

Feels like the character arc might be the classic story form of reluctant protagonist transforming into courageous hero. Now, and if this were my logline, I’d review the inciting incident stage. Near death experiences are powerful, but “reveals her soul family is trapped in karmic loops” is not an archetypal experience and difficult for most non-psychics to relate to. Confronting a narcissistic mother, however is archetypal, something audiences may more readily relate to. The missing link, technically speaking, the “Cause and Effect”, that is specifically, what evil act did mother actually do to our poor, struggling hero? To then cause us (the audience) to feel not only sorry for her, but motivate to root for her throughout the rest of the story? Of course it’s your story, but riffing here when I mention Sleeping Beauty. She had a step-mom, who had a henchman try kill her, because, well, who was the most narcissistic of them all … I my opinion, all storytelling is derivative, learn from the great stories of the past. And then add a little psychic dimensionality for originality! 😉
