CREEP CATCHER

CREEP CATCHER
By Marty Howe

GENRE: Thriller
LOGLINE:

Under house arrest for manslaughter after a livestream gone wrong, an online vigilante has 24 hours to rescue an abducted child before she's murdered using only the internet and his cellphone.

SYNOPSIS:

SHAWN FAULKNER, a vigilante creep catcher, livestreams stings exposing predators. During a confrontation, STEFAN, a paedophile, jumps to his death from a balcony. Shawn is charged with manslaughter and placed under house arrest to await sentencing.

Weeks later, Shawn receives a call from 11-year-old KRISTA, who claims she’s being held captive by “MR. NASTY,” a masked killer who has eluded capture for years. Krista refuses to call the Police, trusting only Shawn after following his vigilante work. With vague clues about her location, Shawn investigates, discovering Krista is school friends with CARMEN, Mr. Nasty’s only known survivor.

Carmen, now mute and institutionalized, spends her days drawing cryptic sketches. Despite Detective PEARSON'S efforts to interview her, she remains silent. Shawn realizes Krista used Carmen’s sketches to track down Mr. Nasty, ultimately locating him.

One final clue leads Shawn to Krista, who holds a shackled Mr. Nasty at gunpoint. Shawn talks her down, confessing he killed Stefan, and insists justice must be served legally. Krista relents and removes Mr. Nasty's mask to reveal Pearson, who had been covering his crimes for years. Krista reunites with her mother, while Shawn is imprisoned. Carmen phones Shawn to say thank you, having regained the courage to speak.
