A SHOT OF PASSION
By Paul Innocent

GENRE: Thriller
LOGLINE: A 2 hour American movie that I wrote about a barren woman who decides she wants her philanderer husband's mistress's unborn baby unknowingly to her husband with drastic ends!!

SYNOPSIS:

This is a movie designed to show how the maternal feelings of a woman can sometimes overpower any other feelings in a marriage unless a fine balance is kept. We've seen the abduction thing over and over again. In this movie, on the moment of discovering her husband has had an affair and that the mistress (who happens to be a close family friend but 20 years younger) is pregnant, the wife who recently found out that she herself can't conceive a child ever decides in her mind that she's going to adopt the mistress's unborn child once it's born - The problem is that the mistress and unborn child are murdered before the wife can approach her about the decision. The Husband is the culprit behind his Mistress's murder via paying an assassin to do so. When his Wife finds out about the murder of his Mistress and moreover the unborn child (but not who did it or who's linked to the murder) she loses composure and loses her way psychologically(In the Wife's head she's already been granted permission to become the unborn child's Mom, but only in her head!!)The way the movie runs at that particular point is that these events all run concurrent to each other, therefore adding pace, tension, intrigue, mystery and unpredictability to the plot and storyline. The Wife has no idea who killed the unborn child and it's Mom, but she has bouts of anger and goes out to buy a gun. Whether she plans to go out herself and find out who killed the unborn child is unclear to the viewer at this point. As far as the viewer's concerned at this point, the wife may have bought the gun for protection, because a woman(the mistress) was recently murdered by someone. All awhile, the husband has no idea his wife even knows about his infidelity with the mistress. The assassin after killing the mistress gets greedy and asks for even more money. Under an assumed name the assassin gets the money he asks for paid into his bank account. When the wife sees the bank statement with the huge money transfer transaction on it she questions the husband. He then convinces her that he's paying a Doctor out in Europe to sort out her damaged uterus problem that Doctors in the USA are claiming are preventing her from conceiving a child. For a while after that, the wife's convinced that everything's going to be ok!!!!....Her own Doctor checks out the name that the wife's husband paid the huge amount of money to, and discovers that there's no such doctor out in Europe working on any such program. The wife then snaps mentally and through a serious of following events discovers that her husband had the unborn child murdered(in her mind, it'd become HER unborn child!). She then murders her husband and turns then gun on herself. All awhile the police manage to pick up the assassin but are too late to pick up the husband........
