Synopsis/Details: 

In a whirlwind of betrayal and desperation, Shane's life takes a dark turn when his mother is poisoned, forcing him to embark on a perilous journey from the bustling streets of Hong Kong to the heart of Washington D.C. Reeling from the shocking truth that his father has kept hidden, Shane is determined to uncover who is behind the horrific crime that shattered his world.

Amidst his quest for justice, he crosses paths with Demetria, a fierce and resilient young woman who shares a hauntingly similar past. Their connection ignites a spark that neither can ignore, and as they navigate the dangers surrounding them, their bond deepens. Shane finds himself willing to risk everything to protect her, and together they unravel a web of deceit that points back to his own family.

Just when it seems they might find peace, tragedy strikes again: Shane’s younger brother, Kado, falls victim to the same poison. Grief-stricken but resolute, Shane confronts his father, Han, only to discover the shocking truth—Han is the orchestrator of the chaos, with Victor, Demetria's father, as his sinister accomplice. The revelation that Demetria has been taken against her will adds urgency to Shane's mission.

With time running out, Shane races back to D.C., channeling all his mixed martial arts training to fight through countless adversaries. Every punch thrown and every kick landed brings him closer to the woman he loves. The stakes are high, and the bullets fly as he confronts the darkness head-on.

In a climactic showdown, Shane emerges victorious, saving Demetria from the clutches of evil. Together, they not only reclaim their lives but also find the strength to heal from their pasts. With Han and Victor finally brought to justice, Shane and Demetria's story becomes one of resilience, love, and the unyielding spirit of a hero willing to stand against the odds.

This tale is not just about fighting for survival; it’s about fighting for love, discovering strength within vulnerability, and the unbreakable bond that can flourish even in the darkest of times.

The Writer: Jessica Lynn Bruce

I've been in love with storytelling since the moment I could hold a pencil. I wrote my first song at just 8 years old, which blossomed into poetry and eventually screenwriting. At 16, I typed my first screenplay on a typewriter, pouring my heart into every scene. Life took a detour when I became a wife and mother, but now I’m back—more driven than ever. I’ve just completed my fourth screenplay, with several more in the works. I'm especially drawn to action, thriller, suspense, and romance. Though I’m not a martial artist myself, I'm a huge fan of MMA and Kung Fu, and I love channeling that energy and discipline into the worlds I build on the page. Writing is my passion, my therapy, and my... Go to bio
