Synopsis/Details: 

Sam Toomes and his family are living the middle-class dream, until it is devastated by the reckless act of a drug lord's son.

When the local, corrupt police do not act, Sam prepares to wreak justice. But he is untrained for such a task and restrained by his civility.

Then a stranger arrives - one with his own interest in the gangsters. As events hurtle toward an explosive yet strangely moral (and biblical) conclusion, should Sam intervene? Or should he stand by or even help the stranger - and lose his soul in the process?

You may be surprised to know that for this story I drew influences from films as varied as "Shane" and "The Virgin Spring".

But it was mostly my response to "Taken". That's why I write some stories: As a reaction to other films. I enjoyed "Taken", but I'm amazed how stupid the bad guys can be in these movies - they hurt somebody's kid or spouse, and that somebody turns out to be an ex-CIA or ex-Green Beret. You'd think the villains would do their research first!

If you'd like to view the script/detailed synopsis for this mythic, sequel- or cable series-spawning, violent anti-violence "revenge flick with a difference", I look forward to sending the PDFs to you. (Also available as Pilot + Episode One)

I'm here to make films, not to merely gain endless options for my screenplays. I'm actively pursuing attachments for my smaller scale projects before I work my way up, so I'm looking for co-producers/investors. As a result of a decade of pitching and being read hundreds of times, I have connections to enhance the resources that you have available. Don't hesitate to approach me with this in mind! Flexibility, creativity and unconventional collaborations are necessary to make films. Go to bio
