BLOOD AND LOYALTY

BLOOD AND LOYALTY
By Ben Fiore

GENRE: Drama, Thriller
LOGLINE:

A botched jewelry store hold-up, a fatal hit-and-run getaway and two brothers with a harrowing secret, hidden in the night. 

SYNOPSIS:

Antonio Rivera has a lot to look forward to. He's about to marry his childhood sweetheart, Maria, in a couple of days and he's finally managed to persuade his long estranged father, Luis, to travel up from Miami to attend the wedding.

But, even such a promising future does not seem to sway him from his penchant for committing petty crimes for fast cash. Not even his fiercely loyal, conscientious younger brother, Freddie, can convince him otherwise. Much to Freddie’s chagrin, Antonio agrees to participate in the risky plan to rob a local jewelry merchant. Teaming up with his shady, gun-toting street hustler friend, Cookie Romero, the dangerous plan is set into motion.

Despite his staunch reluctance, Freddie is talked into acting as the getaway driver and is promised by Antonio that it will be their final score before he settles down and the brothers go legitimate. But, the heist goes terribly awry, leaving Cookie and the jewelry store proprietor shot dead. Then, in a desperate attempt to flee the scene, Antonio, now at the wheel, strikes and kills an apparently homeless man crossing a dark, desolate street in the vicinity of a Greyhound Bus terminal.

Determined not to ruin his future plans by being prosecuted for the hit-and-run killing and the deadly, botched robbery attempt, Antonio hastily concocts a plan to dump the body into the local bay. But, when their father fails to show up for the wedding the next morning, a visit from the police and a cruel twist of fate forces Freddie to pay the ultimate price for his brother's misdeeds.
