"CRYSTAL'S VOW"
By Shafiq Ahmad Setak

GENRE: Action, Crime
LOGLINE:

After discovering her affluent parents were killed in a staged car accident, Crystal, a young female psychiatrist in Los Angeles, vows revenge and becomes a Federal Agent to bring the culprits to justice at any cost.

SYNOPSIS:

Crystal, a pretty five-year-old girl, loses her affluent parents in a staged car accident in LA. She goes to live with her only aunt, Mary Robertson, whose husband holds a high-ranking position in the US State Department in Washington.

Few years later, as Mr. Robertson assumes his post as the US Ambassador to China, Crystal moves to Beijing with her aunt's family. There, she befriends Ming, a Chinese girl who encourages Crystal to join her uncle's Kung Fu Club, where she learns martial arts alongside her passion for writing.

Returning to the US five years later, Crystal struggles to focus on building a single career. She studies neurosciences to become a psychiatrist as a major and screenwriting as a minor, as she enjoyed writing since childhood. However, her aspirations in screenwriting face a setback when her script is harshly criticized as having no conflict by an arrogant literary manager at a Screenwriting World Conference in LA in 2012. Disheartened, she gives up screenwriting and concentrates on her medical studies, eventually becoming a psychiatrist and establishing her own rehab center.

Encouraged by her aunt, Crystal confronts her past and learns that her parents' death was orchestrated, implicating her father in illegal activities. Fueled by the desire for justice, Crystal vows to fight the drug trade and those responsible for her parents' demise.

With the support of her cousin Nick, an FBI agent, Crystal joins the Bureau, leaving her Rehab Center under the care and supervision of her best friend, Dr. Jasmine. Despite her proficiency in Chinese martial arts, Crystal undergoes rigorous training to become an FBI agent.

Assigned to a case involving drug distribution in Washington, particularly among youth in high schools, Crystal and her team uncover a smuggling operation tied to the Imperial Farm, owned by Alfonso Jackson, her father's former business associate who staged the deadly accident. As they delve deeper, they connect the drug trade to Ann Ludwick, the ex-wife of a prominent literary manager, Peter Brooks, who orchestrates a terrorist attack on Crystal's Rehab Center.

Crystal's investigation leads her to confront the mysterious Mr. X and his drug dealer gangsters. Foiling many conspiracies and plans of Mr. X and his cohort, Crystal and her FBI team apprehend him, exposing Alfonso Jackson as the ringleader. Further investigations reveal Jackson's involvement in her parents' death, bringing closure to Crystal's quest for justice.
