CITY CROOKS: THE CONSPIRACY

CITY CROOKS: THE CONSPIRACY
By Shemar James

GENRE: Sci-fi, Action
LOGLINE:

When their city is threatened with corruption, crime, and nightmarish creatures, a dymanic group of socially outcasted, second generation immigrant friends become superheroes to protect a city that fails to protect them while navigating bullying, racism, and broken family dynamics.

SYNOPSIS:

A chilling night of trouble befalls Cone City, as high school students, Jake and Billy, work excitingly on their science project for school inside Professor Guzzler’s laboratory (Jake’s next door neighbor and the city’s top scientist) when two thugs intrude upon the lab and kidnap Guzzler. After the two men leave with the Professor, Jake and Billy, decide to follow them rather than call the police. They discover that the two brutes who abducted Guzzler are henchmen for the sinister Captain Crush, whose lair is located in the sewer. Crush is planning to take over the city with an army of monsters and henchmen, kick the mayor out of power (his despised older brother), reveal the mayor’s secrets to the public, and rule with an iron fist. Before Guzzler was taken, he was working on a powerplant that would grant Cone City the electricity it needs after the countless power shortages around the town. Aware of Guzzler’s project, Crush forces Guzzler to use the energy of his project for his own plot of creating a powerful minion army. When Jake and Billy overhear Crush’s plan, they plan to escape from the villain's secret hideout and inform the police. However, when they later make a daring escape, Billy ends up being the only one to escape while Jake is captured by one of Crush’s henchmen. Now Billy is tasked with a race against the clock to alert law enforcement, dodge Crush’s minions who have been sent on a hunt to intercept him, and save Jake who Crush has declared to execute upon his trespassing.

Shemar, this is SO. FUN.

I do think that it could be streamlined a bit. But! There's so much good stuff here and I already love it :)
