Rae’s Theme:
Graffiti. Not American. This kid is spelling out the hidden GPS route of a melody chiming through the city. High noon. Her father, a Hedge Fund wiz figures it’s a slam dunk. He’s hidden in the shadows, sending a message over his mobile to his assistant in the States. What reigns in nano form will become a scripted global execution.
The strange tune (play above) is his family’s ancestral melody. A Brand source code encrypted in the tune, will launch a virtual elevator. The lift is primed to deliver product through a digital library that encrypts all data using the family’s latest invention MEND™. But the family, spread out across the globe, is in a merciless fight over the ownership of MEND™.
Something goes terribly wrong. In a global setting the tune has a mind of its own. Scroll down for the story of how this powerful dynasty brings hidden knowledge to earth in the 21st century. If only we can get aboard their magic, before they destroy their ancestral gift…?
Rachel Barrington’s final concert is jam packed. Word on the street is that the superstar is under surveillance, a pawn in a familial dispute. Her inventor father and her lover are at odds. This is a volatile combination, since they both are working on a top secret experiment surrounding the DNA of Rachel’s ancestors. The suspect list is narrow, kept tightly under wraps. The family is about to engage in a sport that most of us have never dreamed of.
Upon her passing, an acoustic trick known only to her immediate family, allows them to piece together musical clues that she has left behind; and interpret the clues for their own private enterprise. Within seconds of her death, an international fight breaks out over the family’s right to withhold valuable data that could change the direction of human kind.
As the fight heats up, a traitor in the family surfaces. Who murdered Rachel? The murder itself becomes almost inconsequential to the larger picture unfolding on the global stage. A sudden explosion emanating from the inventor’s office is streaming undecipherable data across the sky. All eyes , iPhones, handhelds are glued to the stark moment. The night sky is bright like the day. Meanwhile the resounding echo of Rachel’s song has landed in the ears of a child about to unlock the dangerous colliding pathway. Here comes the split second access for us to come aboard. You won’t want to miss this once in a lifetime access.

The amazing world of MEND™ has a book series, film script, games, music, a blog and numerous other products for online and off-line content and immersive space interactivity.
A simple lullaby tune morphs/ evolves over centuries. The song has supernatural powers. This family tune can be used miraculously to unlock signature content. The characters born to the ancient Barrington dynasty spin map data from musical language into language we know and understand!
THE SKELETON SCORE, first book in an epic tale, is a story of inheritance, identity and espionage. Diabolical, and thrilling, the characters of the Barrington dynasty are driven by their innate talent and power to control the world. Enter the 21st century. Evolution brings mechanization into the character’s lives. Suddenly the dynasty is aware of the enormous trading value of their power. (To read more about the Skeleton Score, contact Mardi-Ellen Hill.)
An inventor in the 21st century motivated by revenge surrounding his own genetic background is out to share with the public, the most secret of all powers — a secret his family has kept hidden for centuries. With the help of a cousin who programs data and incidentally kills for a living, the inventor threatens his own clan, almost putting them to bed for good.
Inventor Henry Barrington uses two of his own children to show the public how a message-relay can extend all around the world in one nano-instant, a rogue signal that competes hands down, with the biggest big data online.
Only the hands of the real time public can make the final leap into the world of MEND™, and bring the invention itself to the next level… time is ticking!
