DEATH WISH DAISY
By Simone Bartesaghi

GENRE: Thriller
LOGLINE:

A WITESEC, reckless young paparazzi with a penchant for shooting gory accident scenes finds herself the hostage of a mysterious caller who threatens the lives of her loved ones in order to force her to revisit painful memories, including the murder of her parents. As she scrambles to escape, she learns shocking truths that only prove the caller’s intent is far more personal, and deadly, than it initially seems. While her past falls apart, she must decide if she deserves to fight for a future. For someone that lives thanks to lies, the truth can be lethal.

SYNOPSIS:

DEATH WISH DAISY is a psychological action thriller about a troubled young woman who’s been protected by the FBI since she was nine when she witnessed her parent’s murder and sent the killer to prison.

Now 24, after moving many times through the Witsec program, Daisy has learned to shield her loved ones from the secret routine of her life by portraying a quiet, balanced waitress hiding her awkward social interactions behind the shame of her stuttering. But her inner pain runs deep. In a twist of fate, she has become a streamer, and her real job is to capture on camera the bloody drama that every night unfolds in the darkest corners of the city and selling a sanitized version of the footage to the media news and the gory ones to the Dark Web.

But when a stranger calls, threatening to kill the people she loves, Daisy is forced into a cat and mouse game, designed to make her pay for all the lies she has told in her life, starting with the one that set her tragic journey into motion.

For someone who has earned the nickname “Death Wish” the time has come to decide whether she wants to live or die. After living a life of lies, the truth can be lethal.

(written in collaboration with Bill Lundy)
