Exo
by Steven Gould
Synopsis:
Cent can
teleport. So can her parents, but they are the only people in the world who
can. This is not as great as you might think it would be — sure, you can go
shopping in Japan and then have tea in London, but it’s hard to keep a secret
like that. And there are people, dangerous people, who work for governments and
have guns, who want to make you do just this one thing for them. And when
you’re a teenage girl things get even more complicated. High school. Boys.
Global climate change, refugees, and genocide. Orbital mechanics.
But Cent isn’t easily daunted, and neither are Davy and Millie, her parents.
She’s going to make some changes in the world.

DREAM CAST
Martin
Freeman as Davy Rice (in EXO) Davy is personable but a bit geeky. Not the sort
of person you’d look at and think “Action Hero.” Loving husband and father with
a bit of PTSD and major-league paranoia.
Laura
Linney as Millicent (Millie) Rice. Attractive, grounded, ex-family therapist,
mother, teleport. Reasonable right up to the point her husband or daughter are
endangered. Then Davy plays good cop and she plays insanely, scary cop.
Ellen
Page as Millicent (Cent) Rice. Bit of a tomboy, scary smart, tries to be
socially outgoing while hiding intense insecurity. Typical bright teen (if that
teen has been raised by a paranoid ptsd victims, could teleport, and had her own
space program.)
