Synopsis/Details
Officer Mireya Vasquez left a promising career in the Violent Crimes division to join the Animal Patrol Unit, honoring her late son's memory by safeguarding the pets and other animals that he cherished. But the countless atrocities she experiences on a daily basis take an emotional toll on Vasquez, eventually pushing her to the point where she can no longer obey the rules. Utilizing cutting-edge weaponry supplied by her veteran uncle, Vasquez embarks on a one-woman vigilante war against people who mistreat animals, taking their lives in the same ways they were torturing their helpless four-footed victims. Vasquez marks the abusers' corpses with “pet shaming” signs that match their horrible crimes. Vasquez's actions make their way onto social media, where animal lovers dub her “the Euthanizer”, the hero that fights for the animals. Yet even as she begins to believe her own digital press, Vasquez's crusade brings her into conflict with Ameriqa Burress, an aggressive businesswoman who wants to create an empire founded on the savagery of dog fighting. Burress sets her muscle on the Euthanizer's trail, determined to prevent the urban vigilante from thwarting her inhumane plans. With her old partner's investigation closing in on her, and the city's underworld gunning for her, can Vasquez stay true to her mission and outlive the criminals she seeks to eradicate?

The Writer: Don Stroud

Hailing from the wilds of North Carolina, I spent my formative years making my own comic books and toys. After a lengthy career in the software industry, I decided to dust off my artistic dreams and get back to creating. I became an editor in Hollywood, working on low-budget horror movies and award-winning documentaries. But after time spent playing with other peoples' toys, I decided to craft my own, and transfer the stories in my head to the written page. Over the last several years I have dedicated my energies towards screenwriting, producing some award-winning original screenplays in the process. My goal is to sit in a darkened theater and see my work up on the big screen. Go to bio
