Synopsis/Details
"Breaking Bad" meets "The Town"—a high-stakes crime thriller where a man driven by desperation for his family becomes deeply entangled in a dangerous criminal world. Dr. Kyle Jackson, a charismatic but flawed Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, loses everything—his medical license, family, and freedom—after his gambling addiction drives him to smuggle drugs for a mob boss. Stripped of his status and imprisoned, Kyle unexpectedly earns the respect of a powerful Russian mobster, Yuri, by saving his life behind bars. Upon release, Kyle’s hope for redemption is shattered when his young daughter Maya is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Desperate to afford an experimental treatment, he agrees to work as a back-alley doctor for Yuri’s criminal organization. As Kyle patches up wounded gangsters and navigates the dangerous world of organized crime, the stakes escalate. His moral compass is tested at every turn, especially as his involvement threatens to endanger Maya’s treatment and his ex-wife Natasha's hard-won stability. The closer he gets to earning the money, the more entangled he becomes in a violent, lawless underworld that won’t let him walk away unscathed. With sharp dialogue, morally complex characters, and escalating tension, Scalpel, Syringe, Silencer is a gripping tale of sacrifice, redemption, and the lengths a father will go to save his child.

The Writer: Scott Sawitz

I like to write character studies of complex, flawed people within a genre framework. My scripts are like my comedy; dark and thrilling with a dash of pop culture references mixed in with a heaping helping of fun. My feature film "Save State" is currently available to watch on Tubi, Amazon, FuboTV, iTunes, Fawesome TV and wherever proper indie films stream. I'm a four-time optioned screenwriter (features), a former freelance sports writer and all around funny guy... and my dog is cuter than yours. Go to bio
