A cunning nurse is lured into a trap by a human trafficker masquerading as a doctor. She must use her street smarts and medical expertise to outmaneuver her captor and dismantle his criminal operation from within.
What would happen if a human trafficker abducted a female John Wick?
SYNOPSIS:
Jam (teen) cares for her drug-addicted mother when a male intruder, Jason, enters their home. Jam manages to escape, but Jason fatally shoots her mother in a botched abduction attempt. Jam is placed in foster care and attends nursing school at a community college, where she trains in self-defense and joins a gun club.
Meanwhile, Jason informs Darrin, the boss of a sex trafficking operation, about Jam. Jason is on the hunt for Jam but, without identifying information, never finds her.
Jam learns self-defense and how to handle a gun while attending nursing school.
Years later, Jam (now 20s) is a nurse at a health clinic when Jason arrives, pretending to be a patient. His real purpose is to scope out potential victims for Darrin’s sex trafficking operation. Jam and Jason secretly recognize each other. Jam tries to detain Jason long enough for the police to be called. Unfortunately, she gets called away to attend to a medical emergency. Jason marks Jam as his next victim before slipping away. Jam is tormented by her past failure to prevent him from killing her mother and this lost opportunity to apprehend him.
Darrin and Jason research Jam, learning that she is broke and single and applying for medical schools she cannot afford. They concoct a fake job listing—a doctor needing a nurse—to entrap Jam. She applies, interviews, and is accepted.
Jason readies a rented house, the doctor’s residence, for Jam's arrival. Jam visits the home and is welcomed by Anna, a trafficked woman from Ukraine and now one of Darrin’s workers, who pretends to be the doctor’s wife. Jam is offered dinner, during which her drink is spiked. Jam is abducted by Anna and Jason and transported to the trafficking house, where she confronts Darrin before he threatens her and locks her in a silent room. Jam meets and befriends Whitney, a trafficked woman and a survivor.
Darrin attempts to break Jam and force her to comply. He assigns her to the worst client job, a bachelor party where she is expected to entertain the groom and groomsmen in addition to rendering extra sexual services. The job becomes a disaster for Darrin when Jam kicks ass at the party and leaves the men writhing in agony. Darrin locks her down.
Jam decides to use her self-defense expertise, medical skills, and Whitney's knowledge of how to survive within Darrin’s system to take down Jason, Darrin, and their sex trafficking organization from the inside. Her mission is one of revenge and justice.
Jam devises a plan, and Whitney assists. They begin by distracting Jason and Darrin, turning the tables on the men by seducing them and earning in-house freedoms.
Anna desperately needs her distasteful job to reclaim her passport and leave Darrin. She views Jam as threatening her position with Darrin and warns Jam to stop. Jam tries unsuccessfully to convince Anna they are allies. When Anna severely injures her foot, Jam uses her nursing skills to care for her, earning her trust and the security passwords to the trafficking house. Jam is armed with security passwords and in-house freedoms. She sets a trap for Darrin and Jason while gathering evidence on the clients for later.
As Jam dines with Darrin the following evening, Whitney lures Jason away to entrap him. Jam uses the opportunity to kill Darrin and free the many trafficked women. Jam confronts Jason over her mother’s murder before killing him. A year later, Jam and Whitney team up to bring justice to the male sex clients responsible for their suffering.

From your opening page I would cut (1) the logline, (2) the tagline, (3) "Copyright" and "Revision," only leave the email address at the bottom.
Then, inbetween the 'title page' and 'page one' of your script I would put your cool 'slugline' in the middle of that famous 'extra page,' that hopefully helps you to sell your screenplay
