Based on true events, a gutsy 17 year old in 1974 protects a female murder witness from the Tacoma, WA mafia.

SYNOPSIS:

A cocktail waitress at the ruthless 1974 Tacoma mafia family's first topless club in town, must, after she witnesses them murder her bouncer friend, rely on a teenaged “bodyguard” to protect her from those seeking her death...including the county's corrupt Sheriff.

Gritty true crime biopic about a week in Tacoma, WA in 1974 as an 17 year becomes embroiled in the business of the local mob. When asked for help by a desperate ex-waitress and murder witness who worked at Tacoma's first topless club owned by local crime organization calling themselves, "The Enterprise", help was readily supplied without question.

Why would anyone agree to help a stranger against organized crime? Because he had been trained to do something like this since childhood.

This story is based on real events of well documented true crimes and events. During the 1970s in Tacoma and Seattle Washington people were terrorized and some died because of the Carbone and Coluccio family businesses. Some people simply, disappeared, never to be seen again. This is just a small piece of that story of how one eighteen year old helped a murder witness, sought by one of these families stay alive. It all took place during a single week in Tacoma in 1974.

In her desperation the witness turned to a young man of 18 to protect her for a week until she could leave town. And she chose well, because he fully intends to stick with her to the end. Though a sex and drug commune, through hiding her from those seeking to harm her, he won't leave her alone until she releases him at the end of the week and is finally able to leave town. But why a week?

Feeling lost and frightened, she asked the young guy if he had a gun, and... he did. Not only does he have a gun and not just a rifle, carrying a .357 magnum in a shoulder holster, he also has a fast car, and does his best to keep her safe against the local mafia. A group he had no clue were at the top of the most wanted list of law enforcement and eventually, the FBI. They were on the list of all police organizations, Bureau of Alcohol, and others, all save those on their payroll. Like the local sheriff and even the county prosecuting attorney.

Meanwhile the mob is wondering where their ex-witness went to and why she disappeared. She in turn wants only to survive the week so she can fly out of state and reclaim her lost life.

But will she make it? True stories do not always have a happy ending. This autobiographical story opens with a series of murders and continues through crime after crime. There is gun play, fast cars, drugs, women and close calls. All this intercut with the goings on of the crime family and the coming of age of the young man who has already come of age in so many other ways. His past seemingly leads up to this seminal experience in his life at that time. It is the story of a well trained and talented but somewhat naive 18 year old who wanted adventure and found it. Or more accurately, it found him.

The initial murder report was taken by the local Sheriff's department, a department who was deep in the pocket of the crime family. All of whom were eventually arrested, convicted and jailed by the end of the decade. Local law enforcement all the way up to the county prosecutor and possibly some judges, were also in the pocket of this multi-city, multi-state, New York Mafia connected crime family.

A book by a local Seattle journalist has been written about them and their larger associates and enemies in Seattle, the Frank Coluccio crime family. This other Seattle crime family was fairly recently indicted and the topic of major news reports.

This is a story and these are crimes and criminals that have yet to be tapped. The murder, which to this day is labeled as anonymous, was claimed by the female witness to have been an murder perpetrated by the Carbone crime family themselves against one of their own.
