DIVIDE & CONQUER

DIVIDE & CONQUER
By Raymond M.

GENRE: Action, Thriller
LOGLINE: Brutal satire about a young black man living under under a fascist America incarcerated in a racist prison and then taken as a political refuge by radical socialists in Canada.

SYNOPSIS:

Today’s America (particularly the city of Detroit) is one of violent, fascistic, racist darkness. African-Americans and people deemed unwanted by the U.S. Government are imprisoned, killed, tortured, and verbally abused for laughs at the expense of the government and wardens. Trevor, a young mute black man, saw his mother raped and his father shot in the head from a police break-in their own apartment simply because they were the wrong colour. He eventually spends 10 plus years imprisoned receiving the extreme abuse until some left-wing protesters hiding from a Canadian commune that try to kidnap and take hostage prisoners whom they feel are part of a sick game by the corrupt U.S. government. Trevor among several other inmates are rescued and survive in a hippie commune near Toronto. The President of the United States alongside some bounty hunters soon try to infiltrate the area to capture Trevor as well as the supposed ‘socialist’ terrorists hiding in Canada. Eventually, what ensues is a game of survival, cat-and-mouse, racial and political conflict, and a lot of shootouts...some of which get very ugly.
