BROKEN WINGS
By Joe Waldygo

GENRE: Action, Thriller
LOGLINE:

HIGH CONCEPT: A female, ex-military squad with PSTD uses stealth tactics and cool gadgets to steal cash from a dangerous cartel drug gang to save a veteran’s shelter from foreclosure.

It’s like JILL REACHER meets Robin Hood, except Jill is TORY PATTON, 35, a guilt-ridden, disgraced war hero, low-rent private investigator addicted to pain meds and cheap booze.

SYNOPSIS:

When Tory learns the shelter with over 100 wounded warriors needs $412,000 in 30 days or it be sold at auction, she comes up with a risky plan to get the money by robbing drug gangs. But she can’t do it alone. She needs help from her two surviving squad members with PTSD that mistrust and blame her for their war wounds.

Tory convinces them to reunite for one last dangerous mission. And despite their issues, the old team executes her clever plan flawlessly and takes down a gang house. Everything goes perfectly –- until it doesn’t! There’s no cash at the house!

So instead, they steal their cocaine and heroin worth millions and try to sell it to rival gangs. But one of them gets captured after the cartel puts out a $100,00 reward. They offer to trade her life in return for their $millions worth of drugs back. Can they be trusted?

Now Tory must choose between saving the community or saving her friend she once again put in harm’s way. Or, is there another way…?

If you like the concept, I’d be happy to send you the script.
