By Johnathan Burns

GENRE: Thriller
LOGLINE:

After the death of her mother, the daughter of a business magnate kidnaps her brother to destroy the corrupt family empire as an act of revenge in her mothers honour.

SYNOPSIS:

After the passing of her mother, Violet Anstar is convinced that her brother Tyson is as corrupt as her father Russell and without her mother driving the company, things will only become worse. Persuaded by a secret source that she must destroy her family company and disappear forever, Violet enacts a vicious plan to kidnap her brother and demand a huge ransom from her father.

Using a hired criminal team, Violet convinces the police that she has been kidnapped along with her brother and they are being poisoned with the same chemicals her father’s company is accused of using to cause an environmental disaster. Police are kept under pressure as each day both the poison dosage and the ransom price are increased and as much as they want to help, their efforts are thwarted by the uncooperative company owner.

While holding her brother captive, Violet mistakenly reveals her identity, ruining her plan to escape with her secret identity intact and in an intense face-to-face that follows, Tyson reveals his knowledge of a secret file. Curious, Violet investigates and discovers the true face of the corrupt family business was her mother all along.

With the police closing in, Violet changes her mind, only now, she’s running blind. Desperate to make things right, she releases Tyson and devises a new plan in which they must work together to draw out the true conspirator, keep the ransom money and run their family company together.
