VENGEANCE IN RED

VENGEANCE IN RED
By Scott Sawitz

GENRE: Horror, Action
LOGLINE:

After witnessing the deaths of her girlfriend at the hands of a masked murderer, the lone survivor channels her trauma into exacting vigilante justice on him - and all the other serial killers who go bump in the night.

SYNOPSIS:

John Wick meets Dexter in this relentless neo-noir thriller, Vengeance in Red, where a tormented survivor turned vigilante battles her way through America’s darkest corners, seeking justice against the serial killers who terrorize the shadows—and ultimately, the one who shattered her life.

Laurie Bell, a once-promising wrestling prodigy, carries the scars of her teenage years when she narrowly survived an attack by the Horse Face Killer, a notorious serial murderer who claimed the life of her girlfriend, Sabrina. A decade later, Laurie’s life is in tatters—haunted by trauma and addiction, she’s struggled to find purpose. But when Jeff Tolliver, a wealthy paraplegic tech genius and fellow survivor of violent crime, offers her a dangerous opportunity, Laurie is thrust back into the world of predators and prey.

Jeff has developed a program to track serial killers by analyzing hidden patterns across social media and law enforcement databases. His goal? To take the law into his own hands and eliminate these monsters for good. Laurie, fueled by a mix of justice and vengeance, reluctantly agrees to become Jeff’s enforcer, her weapon of choice as brutal as the killers she hunts.

As Laurie tracks one violent predator after another, she wrestles with her growing notoriety and her inability to leave a clean trail. The police, led by seasoned FBI Agent Paul Drake, begin to piece together the connection between the killings, while a shadowy network of serial killers starts to realize they’re being hunted. With each confrontation, Laurie inches closer to her ultimate target: the Horse Face Killer. But the deeper she delves into this bloody crusade, the more she risks losing what’s left of her humanity.

In Vengeance in Red, justice becomes blurred with retribution, and the line between hero and monster is dangerously thin.
