Synopsis/Details
REVENGE: Of ELI PARKER is a dark, character-driven drama tracing Eli Parker’s journey from abused child to vengeful adult. Born to a drug-addicted, stripper mother and raised in a string of neglectful homes, Eli grows up marked by betrayal, loneliness, and quiet rage—a life defined by cruelty, abandonment, and the desperate search for connection.
As a teenager, he begins collecting weapons and recording the names of everyone who failed him. After a brief taste of love ends in prison and deeper rejection, Eli emerges with nothing left to lose.
Years later, he sets out on a violent mission to confront the people who shaped him into what he has become. Interwoven memories reveal how each wound led him here.
At the end, with no more names to cross off, Eli must face the emptiness inside and ask himself:
Now that I have nothing left…what am I?
Eli Parker is a mirror: what happens when a system fails every test of decency?
