THE LAST MILE
By Christian Hearn

GENRE: Action, Thriller
LOGLINE:

Doctor Robert McCammon survives a bullet to the head only to wake up trapped in the trunk of his own car. Now speeding at eighty miles an hour towards an unknown destination with his would-be-killer behind the wheel, Robert must find out who wants him dead, and why.

SYNOPSIS:

Two detectives are on the trail of a serial killer who is seemingly targeting prominent plastic surgeons. As they stand over the body of the latest victim they ponder the question; who’s next?

Robert is a successful cosmetic surgeon who sees kindness as a personality flaw. After kissing his fiancé Shelley goodbye and forfeiting a day out with his estranged son in favour of a lunch appointment with a fellow doctor, Robert heads out to work.

Robert rudely declines to work on a disfigured man calling himself Mr. Smith and heads for home. But upon returning to his car a pillowcase is pulled over his face and a bullet fired at his head.

Robert awakes locked in the trunk of his car and speeding at a steady 80. Slowly bleeding to death, Robert takes stock of his situation and finds that his phone and a bag of shopping are all he has to use if he is to save his own life.

With time quickly running out, Robert attempts to reach out to his ex-wife and young son, Timmy. But Robert soon finds himself with no friends or family left to turn to. He begins to see that he has chosen to isolate himself from those around him. Now truly isolated and alone, he attempts to escape from the car that imprisons him.
