BEYOND THE CRUSH
By Immanuel Chellah

GENRE: Thriller / Suspense, Crime
LOGLINE: After a mild-mannered accountant commits a fatal hit-and-run on the Mayor's wife, he discovers the "accident" was a deliberate frame-up by a ruthless political machine, forcing him into a deadly 48-hour race to survive, as a key witness to the true murder motive risks everything to expose the Mayor's entire, cartel-backed empire.

SYNOPSIS:

Omari Zulu, a mild-mannered accountant, accidentally commits a hit-and-run, killing the Mayor's wife. However, he quickly realizes the crash was a setup orchestrated by the Mayor and his ruthless enforcer, Lucien Kray, who are desperate to frame him for murder. ​The accidental crime turns into a frantic, city-wide manhunt when Omari and his friend, Dante, are forced to go on the run, facing a city corrupted by a massive $100,000 bounty. The stakes peak when Kray kidnaps Dante's grandmother, forcing Omari to choose: confess to a murder he didn't commit, or let the only person who cares for him die. ​Working with a cautious detective and the victim's secret lover, Omari races against a 48-hour clock to expose the Mayor's true motive: protecting a vast, cartel-backed criminal empire. The series culminates in a violent confrontation and a live confession that brings down the Mayor, but the chilling escape of Kray leaves Omari facing an uncertain future in the city that nearly buried him.
