Film Outline

The film will begin in the perspective of a man(Gabe) who has been tied up and trapped in the trunk of a car. Sounds from outside of the car will be heard and lead up to the killer(Gavin) opening the trunk to make sure Gabe’s wrists are tightly bound. As Gavin is about to close the trunk the scene will transition into a flashback of how Gabe got put into that situation. The scene will show Gavin and Gabe back when they attended the same school. Gabe had always bullied and made fun of Gavin because he had always been the odd kid out. Gavin promised to take revenge on all those who made fun of him when he was younger and when he turns 21, Gabe is the first target. The scene will then transition back to the present as we now see Gavin outside of the car. In this scene, Gavin will be acting suspiciously in a parking lot when a police officer(Justin) will go towards him to investigate the strange behavior. Gavin will then kill Justin in order to prevent being caught and so nobody will know. At this point the focus will shift to a new character, a detective(Sam) who has been tasked with finding who is the cause for all the killings taking place and take him down. Sam will always be one step behind Gavin, as Sam and his right hand man always arrive at the scene minutes after Gavin has already left the scene. After coming close countless times, Sam finally catches Gavin. As he is approaching him, ready to place him under arrest, Gavin reveals that he set a trap for Sam’s right hand man has been taken hostage by Gavin and that Sam only has seven minutes to save him. Sam must choose between saving his partner in crime or catching the killer he had been chasing for so long. Sam finally decides to go save his friend and Gavin escapes once again. Sam races to the location of his partner but arrives seconds too late as upon arriving at the scene, the entire building had been engulfed in flames and collapsed. Enraged by the death of his right hand, Sam pledges to stop at nothing until Gavin is caught. A week passes and Sam has tracked Gavin to a secluded warehouse on the outskirts of town. Sam makes his way through the building until, to his surprise, finds Gavin waiting for him. Sam continues toward Gavin until they are face to face. After exchanging words regarding Gavin’s motives and Sam’s mission to bring him into custody, Sam is suddenly struck from behind. When he looks up, he sees his old partner in crime standing over him which shocks Sam entirely. At this point Sam had come to the realization that Gavin and his old partner had been working together the entire time as it shows flashbacks of his partner doing things that could relate to him joining with Gavin. Heartbroken by coming to this conclusion, Sam does not resist when Gavin and his old partner tie him up and cast him into the ocean. The final scene will be a shot through the perspective of Sam sinking in the water while looking up to see Gavin and his old partner looking down on him. Just like in the opening scene of how Gavin shut the trunk on Gabe in the beginning.
