By Norael Layne

GENRE: Action, Comedy
LOGLINE: After breaking up with his girlfriend, a scrooge-like geek gets a taste of his own medicine, when his superhero dolls suddenly spring to life and attempt to destroy him.

SYNOPSIS:

Daniel is your average twenty-six year old, anti-social, comic book obsessed, superhero worshiping, computer loving nerd, who manages to somehow be allergic to everything that breathes and walks on two or more feet. Aside from his many fascinating qualities, Daniel is also a bit of a scrooge, but surprisingly he actually has a girlfriend... well at least he did at one point in time. One day, while rushing to get out the door, Daniel receives a call from his sweet and hospitable girlfriend, Lisa. Unaware that he was already annoyed at the fact that his clock decided not to alarm him that it was morning, Lisa gets a not so pleasant greeting, followed by an unforeseen breakup from Daniel. Angered by his blunt rudeness, Lisa goes on to give Daniel a piece of her mind, including calling him the one name that he hates, a "Geek." Daniel immediately takes offense and hangs up on Lisa. He storms into the kitchen and takes all of his anger out on the poor Superman clock hanging on the wall. Daniel watches as the clock falls to the floor, and shatters into pieces. Feeling no remorse, Daniel turns his back and leaves for the day, unaware of the consequences of his actions. Upon returning home, Daniel trips over a rouge skateboard, strategically placed in front of the door. As he reaches for the deathtrap on wheels, he notices that his four justice league dolls are on the floor, staring him down. Confused, Daniel put the skateboard and dolls away, but as the day continues on, he starts to realize that his dolls are out to harm him. Daniel tries to in list the help of his one tolerable friend, Terry, but his tale of impossible events fall on death ears. Daniel is over come by the tiny forces and knocked unconscious. When he awakens hours later, alone and scared, Daniel sees the dolls starring him down and begins to call for help. Terry rushes in to find his dear acquaintance tied to a chair. Terry immediately arms himself, expecting robbers or Daniel's now enraged ex-girlfriend to jump out from the shadows. Daniel suddenly sees that the dolls have vanished again, and begs his friend for freedom. Once untied, Daniel rushes for a plastic bag, stuffs the dolls inside it, while Terry looks on in confusion disapproval, and then bolts out the door. He throws the bag at a trash can and runs back inside like a mad man. A few minutes later and man walks up and notices the bag of heroes and takes them away to a new life. The End?
