CAPTAIN MANIC
By Louis Ferrante

GENRE: Action
LOGLINE:

Gary Ganders was a naturalist until he was bitten by a radioactive loris. Now, as superhero The Loris, he fights crime in Steam City and an increasingly fascist police department led by Commissioner Osman Gearlap, who is determined to grab total power. In an effort to topple him, Gary creates Captain Manic to reign crime from every corner and building. What ensues is a final confrontation that asks who are the good guys, the bad guys and superheroes. 

SYNOPSIS:

Gary Ganders is your typical naturalist, until he gets bitten by a radioactive loris. You read right, a The Loris, that loveable Strepsirrhini primate found in Southeast Asia. What do you do when fate hands you radioactive Loris bite? I don’t know about you. If your Gary, you become the superhero Loris, half man, half Loris and somewhere in there still Gary.

Loris used to spend his time fighting crime and being loved in Steam City, before the Steam City P.D. squashed it all. Does it mean Chapter 11 for Loris? Will Gary spend his time living off the wealth of his dropped dead beautiful wife, Alexandra, when he’s not hanging with his girlfriend Lonette Lolange by day, superhero Bird Of Ill Omen by night? You still don’t know Gary.

He creates Captain Manic and initiates a crime wave like Steam City hasn’t seen since the good bad old days. Along the way, Gary battles, power grabbing police Chief Osman Gearlap, Alexandra’s formidable father, Governor Forrest, cartels and most of all Captain Manic, who takes over more and more of Gary.

By the end of Gary’s journey, we’re left with the questions: Who are the good guys, the bad guys and most important the superheroes?
