HOT

Story and Screenplay by Robert C. Powers            

Genre: Drama/Thriller (84 pages)

Logline: A "hot" teenage girl is kidnapped, imprisoned in a cabin and must use all her wiles to stay alive; the Sheriff thinks her kidnapper is the man who murdered his daughter and must find the hot girl and her kidnapper while resisting revenge (Coverage: a well-written detective story).

Synopsis: Sheriff Nolan Pathway is called in to help in a case that reeks of deadly dejà vu as the clues seem to point to a former adversary. MANDY, a good-looking teenage girl who dresses “too hot” is on vacation with her folks in a nearby state park. She goes on a date with a total stranger and ends up missing. 

Nolan and his wife recently lost their daughter, killed by a mysterious man who robbed the bank where she worked. Nolan thinks he knows who did it, MAGUS, a field hand always in trouble, but can’t prove it. Now, he’s sure Magus has Mandy, but he must find her and fight the impulse to seek revenge until he can prove that Magus is guilty.

Mandy's brother, a 'would be' detective, knows his sister. If she's alive, she's a fighter. And if she's alive, he's going to find her. At first, he gets in the way of the investigation, but Nolan's no fool; the more help the better.

Mandy is thrown into the cellar of an abandoned cabin in a remote mountain area. She’s not about to go down without a fight.  She’s visited every day by a mysterious man who wears a clown mask. Her life is on the line with every visit. Suspense builds with each visit and each “dead end” Nolan chases into.

Nolan is harassed on a professional level and has to deal with the political and public side of the bad luck his town's been having with regard to crime; and the "powers that be" want him gone.

Who has Mandy? Is it Magus?  What really happened? Three people; two murders, and one kidnapping. It's going to come down to who fights, who blinks and who lights the match. And not every burn comes from flame.

Locations (5): Forest/River, Sheriff’s Office, Various houses/RV/Theater., Mountain Cabin/Cellar, Mill House.

Coverage: A realistic and entertaining thriller with nary a dull moment; a nice change of pace from the usual "damsel in distress" story. The characters are well fleshed out, the writing is tight and efficient and brings out the story's fast pace. SCREENPLAY READERS (Coverage Services).

HOT is a drama/mystery, a low budget shoot, the perfect vehicle for the right new talent, and could provide characters for a sequel.

May we send the script?
