Synopsis/Details
he Deadliest Job – Synopsis A nearly deserted train station. Midnight. Kate, a sharp and street-smart courier, waits for her contact to arrive. She’s carrying a backpackpack stuffed with mob cash—money she’s supposed to deliver without a hitch. But just as the train approaches, Ryan, a confident and calculating stranger, steps out of the shadows. He knows exactly what she’s carrying. And he wants half. At first, Ryan plays it cool, offering a "business proposition"—split the money, and they both walk away alive. But Kate isn’t an easy mark. She tries to outmaneuver him, denying everything, but Ryan knows too much—where she got the money, who she works for, and the consequences if she fails her job. He’s planned this, and he’s not leaving empty-handed. The tension builds as Kate weighs her options. She could run. She could fight. Or she could make a deal with the devil. But just as she seems cornered, the power dynamic shifts. Kate isn’t just a courier—she’s been playing her own game all along. With one sharp move, she turns the tables, revealing that Ryan’s been set up from the start. Now, with the mob closing in and the truth unraveled, only one of them is making it out alive. And in this business, trust is the deadliest gamble of all. Fast-paced, tension-packed, and with a killer twist, The Deadliest Job is a gripping crime thriller that keeps audiences guessing until the final second. A perfect high-stakes, low-budget film with strong festival and streaming appeal. Contact:: Jed Power jedpower@verizon.net
