KILLER THERAPY

KILLER THERAPY
By Mike Johnston

GENRE: Comedy
LOGLINE:


After a hitman has a complete mental breakdown, he starts therapy with a sociopathic therapist and other contract killers, only to discover they work for the people who killed his mother and father. 

SYNOPSIS:

The script "Killer Therapy" is a dark action comedy about a hitman named Nolan who tries to leave his violent past behind by entering a therapy program for reformed killers. The program, run by an unstable therapist named Fletcher, is actually a front for "The Corporation" that previously employed Nolan and wants to force him to return to work.

When Nolan refuses, Fletcher stages an attack meant to mirror the childhood trauma of Nolan's family being murdered. Nolan sees through the ruse and escapes, returning home to his wife Rachel and young daughter Gemma.

Fletcher and the other hitmen in the program, a colorful cast of characters, go on a disastrous mission to rob a bank without Nolan. Many end up killed. Under pressure from The Corporation's ruthless CEO Marquis, Fletcher puts a bounty on Nolan's head.

Nolan and his detective partner AJ go to confront the hitmen, and Nolan ends up killing Fletcher when he threatens Nolan's family.

Nolan decides to take down The Corporation once and for all, leading the surviving hitmen and a gang called The Squad (which is led by his secretly badass wife Rachel) in an assault on The Corporation's HQ.

After a bloody battle, Nolan confronts Marquis, initially mistaking her for Rachel. The real Rachel shows up in time to save Nolan by shooting Marquis. The survivors escape as police surround the building.

In an epilogue one year later, Nolan and Rachel meet with their daughter's teacher, who expresses concern about Gemma's "antisocial behavior", hinting that she may be following in her parent's footsteps. Nolan and Rachel seem pleased by this development
