Narrative Idea Development

In terms of my ideas about the narrative, I have taken strong inspiration from Nickelback's Savin Me, the theme and the story in that piece is really quite interesting, coming to terms with something like a curse is interesting and I believe I could use a common theme of something like alcoholism or depression to really ground in the point about my characters weakness in the face of an implied emotional breach. My intention is that this will create a powerful story that will keep the audience engaged and interested.
