I'm writing a script for college. Could i get some feedback please on my idea?

Thirty six seconds 

A hungry Jack Bridge in the Amazon jungle eats a plant. A little later in a nearby village while talking 
with the local Chief, Jack experiences an "out of body" experience. His mind can see and experiences what 
the Chief is going to say,in the brief future. Within a half a minute Jack's mind returns to the present time. 
He realizes he can separate his mind from his body allowing his mind to travel to the future but only 
for thirty six seconds. 

Back in the States Jack is growing the plant in the basement of his house. He is studying, talking to Buddhist 
priests to learn more about mind body separations. In a restaurant Jack baffles the barman by being able to 
predict the orders of the customers."I can read people" he claims. 

Jack is experiencing financial problems and in an obvious way to exploit his new found abilities he goes to the 
Casino. He experiences great success at the Blackjack table, the casino owners are concerned and suspicious. 
They hire a private detective, Wilbur Hatton, to find out more about Jack Bridge. Breaking into the house Hatton 
finds the plants growing in the basement. Later Jack and his girl friend, Laura, take the plant drug together. 
We realize as they return from their brief future mind travel that all is not normal. 

Jack now has mental characteristics obtained from Laura, their personalities are fragmenting, Each time they 
travel together into the near future and return their personalities become intermixed. 

Laura and Jack plan a dinner party and spike the drinks with the drug, the result is a hilarious conversation with 
10 people each able to predict conversations. The detective Hutton is closing in on the secret of the jungle plant.
