By John Michael German

GENRE: Drama, Thriller
LOGLINE:

JONNY 2X is a dramatic, suspenseful thriller about Jonny, a loner who lives a very simple life and works a job that can get rough at times though the money is good. His personality fits the job due to life putting him through the ringer and back again but never judge a book by its cover as we all got our reasons for why we do what we got to do sometimes and Jonny is especially no different.

SYNOPSIS:

JONNY 2X was about an underground style debt collector for people who had stolen goods of some kind, that people wanted back, but without the intervention and long process the other way would take. Money, valuables, etc. Jonny worked for Raymond, and had daily interactions with Raymond's hired help, Ian and Anthony.

JONNY 2X got the name due to his style about collecting debt. He didn't speak much. He was all business, and had a glare that was both calming and terrifying. The first time he would ask directly. If he had to go back, that's when things would get ugly.

Jonny would put on his brass knuckles under his gloves, as well as put on his jacket, which had a 2X on the back of it. He would also put on his steel-tipped boots. Jonny would also carry around with him, in his car, a knife that he would use, if he needed to go back a second time.

Through Jonny's encounters and retrievals of items, he ends up, inadvertently, stealing an item from a man. No one told Jonny of this. That event leads Jonny going to recover the item he had stolen. That event leads to altercations with Jonny's boss and hired help that leaves one man's faced battered bruised, another with the knife stuck in his arm, and Jonny with a bullet wound that he digs out himself.

Jonny does all this for the money. It's good money and he stores some of it that he ends up putting into duffel bags. These duffel bags have initials on it that he eventually ends up leaving at four different houses. Each house, is a house with children who have some type of disability or illness such as cancer. Jonny ends up leaving bags of money with notes for the people to leave.

One house, leaves him with an encounter with an older woman who ends up finding out what Jonny is doing. This leads to Jonny's first real emotional attachment as he hugs the woman back, and gives her some money for the gracious gift she gave him - a plush toy. The reason the plus toy is meaningful to Jonny, is that when he gets back out of his car, he pulls out a pendant out of his pocket. Within it is a picture of a small little girl, smiling as can be with a plush toy. On the back of the pendant - the wording "Lil sis 4eva. 1981 - 1984".

The story is about a loner, not well liked due to his severe anti-social behavior, who does what he can to help others through the means he does - from behind the scenes. All in remembrance of his littler sister.
