BLUE RIDGE
By Doug Klozzner

GENRE: Film Noir, Thriller / Suspense
LOGLINE: Framed for manslaughter, Jim emerges from nine years in prison seeking revenge in a small town that unknowingly welcomes him with open arms.

SYNOPSIS:

"The story moves really fast, hooks us from the beginning with a truly engrossing opening sequence. Author has a distinct style and a full understanding of the noir genre. It’s a real page-turner. Act One sets up the conflict in a crystal clear fashion and has us caring about the protagonist and rooting for him. Protagonist Jim is an incredibly compelling character. He’s the victim of a terrible injustice at a young age and we meet him years later, a man bent on revenge. The twist at pg 76 is excellent. We honestly didn’t see it coming." - coverage, Script Savvy Screenplay Competition

Layered with suspense and irony, murder and sex, BLUE RIDGE combines a theme of vengeance and moral ambiguity with the appeal of a keeps-you-guessing-to-the-last-page thriller. In noir tradition, it is a closed and intimate scenario with few characters/locations, and an unforgettable story.
