VOLTE-FACE

VOLTE-FACE
By David C. Velasco

GENRE: Thriller, Drama
LOGLINE:


An international thief kidnaps a cybersecurity wiz for one last job, but still needs him to save herself after discovering he’s a wanted serial killer.

SYNOPSIS:

Be careful who you kidnap. They may be worse than you.

Laura Croft meets Norman Bates when international thief ALESSANDRA GREY is hired to steal the plans of a prototype, next-gen stealth fighter. She plans on this being her last job, setting her up for life. To pull it off, she and her team kidnap cybersecurity wiz ADAM DANIELS. Taken to a remote location, he’s told what to do: hack the aerospace’s security he helped design and steal the plans.

Taunted by the younger niece of a team member, Adam kills her with a makeshift knife, nonchalantly slitting her throat. Dropping hints the police will link him to some crimes via his blood left at his kidnapping scene, Alessandra discovers he’s responsible for the serial killing of five women in the area.

The tables turned, knowing if she doesn’t deliver the plans she’s as good as dead. She cuts a deal: help her get the plans and she’ll help him get out of the country. Complicating matters: the relative desire for revenge, and her own to kill Adam on the spot.

I like the idea. Workshopping this a bit. I think some confusion of he vs. her in the original logline might exist. Does this help in any way? "International thief, Alessandra, must use her wits to fight for her life after she kidnaps a cybersecurity wiz to complete one last job, only to discover he is a sadistic serial killer."
