ROCK STAR RESCUE
By Brennan Smith

GENRE: Thriller, Action
LOGLINE:

American pop star must grow from bimbo to hero to save her self and the Ugandan children that take her hostage.  Pursued by child soldiers,  she must bond with the boys and stop a plot to overthrow the peace talks.

SYNOPSIS:

Many falling stars go to Africa to revitalize their careers. For former teen idol Kyra, it will prove deadly, when she decides to shoot her latest music video at peace talks where Uganda is trying to end its 25 year war against the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA).

Kyra is so self-focused that she fails to see the assassination attempt right before her eyes! Ugandan officials don’t believe her. But the would-be assassins have other plans…

Two Ugandan boys, Tone and Jacob, wait for their opportunity, then grab Kyra at gunpoint, steal a car and drive off into war-ravaged Uganda. Rick, Kyra’s lover and bodyguard, fears the worst, that Kyra has been taken by the brutal LRA. He arms up and races after them with a Ugandan official, Lubanga.

But Tone and Jacob are not LRA. They’re desperate. Something is driving Tone toward the assassination. They kidnapped Kyra in the hope that US military will come and rescue her, and them. If they can get her on their side.

But both Ugandan military and LRA child soldiers see them as enemies – the stolen car gets shot up, forcing Kyra and the boys into the bush on foot. Over the following day, as Rick’s posse races toward them, Kyra must grow from victim to hero to save the boys from child soldiers and reveal the plot to overthrow the peace talks.
