By Juan Pete Diaz

GENRE: Action, Crime
LOGLINE:

A young skilled Dominican contract killer, forcefully trained by a vicious mercenary leader, escapes his control and chaos, to lead a peaceful life in America, but things don’t go as planned and the battle for redemption and salvation begins!

SYNOPSIS:

Alexa, a young Dominican woman who as a toddler lived in poverty. For a safer and better life her poor parents surrendered her and her brother Carlos, to a Christian Orphans Missionary. Three years later they are kidnapped from the Missionary by mercenaries, and imprisoned with other children, deep in the jungle of the Dominican Republic. Victor, the leader of the mercenaries with his men would forcefully train the abductees, converting them into assassins for hire, for their own monetary gain. Those who refused to cooperate would witness their siblings die a slow painful death, before receiving the same death. Within a few years the captives has traveled the world, unwillingly killing their targets. Alexa was sent on her first kill before her brother, a cycle that would last for years until their daring escape through the same jungle that imprisoned them for 18 years. Reaching a small coastal Airport Carlos decides to stay behind and alert the authorities of Victor’s camps and activities. Alexa takes a flight to Puerto Rico, there she meets her contact and attains a passport and a one way ticket to Miami Florida.

Arriving at the Miami International Airport she is taken to a Miami dance studio, by another contact. The studio is a front for an operation ran by its owner, Estrella. Estrella takes in Latinas from Latin America and abroad, who lives are in danger from political or organized crime threats. Estrella trains all of her girls to compete in national and international latin dance competitions, a perfect way to keep her girls on the move while winning tens of thousands of dollars per competition. After graduating Estrella assigns her girls a guardian, to protect them at all costs as they compete around the world.

Alexa is sent to Las Vegas for her first competition, escorted by her guardian, Jesse. Her brother arrives at the dance studio on the same day, and learns she’s in Vegas. With Alexa’s schedule on hand he takes the first flight to Las Vegas. Unknown to him he was followed by Victor and his men, from the Dominican Republic to the Dance studio. Not knowing Carlos’s destination Victor and his men infiltrated the dance studio, killing Estrella and everybody in the

building, after retaining Alexa’s itinerary. Victor, and his men head to Phoenix Arizona, Alexa’s next stop, to ambush her. Jesse learns of the murders and meets with Alexa and Carlos, to tell them of the murders and to make plans to protect Alexa at her Phoenix competition. On the day of the competition Carlos and Jesse are attacked by Victor and his men, while patrolled the perimeter, where Alexa was performing. Sensing something was wrong Alexa runs out to the alley, and finds Carlos crucified on the building’s exterior wall, and Jesse with a chest wound, bleeding heavily. She sets out to find Victor to avenge her brother’s death, but it isn’t until Jesse is discharged from the hospital that they find Victor’s location. With intel from the guardian ops they discovered Victor has started another covert assassin operation in an abandoned monastery, located in a rural area outside of Los Angeles.

Jesse calls on Estrella’s guardians for help. On motorcycles, Alexa and Jesse with a dozen armed guardians invade the monastery. Jesse and his men takes control of the monastery compound. Alexa finds Victor, and challenges him to a sword fight, to the death. At first Victor gets the best of her, but with anger and determination to avenge her brother’s death she finds her strength, killing Victor with his own sword.

Alexa retreats to a LA church in search for inner peace. Contemplating suicide she kneels at the Altar to pray. After praying she places the tip of her sword at her heart. Just when she’s about to thrust herself into her sword a middle aged Priest stops her. She stares at his face and suddenly realizes he’s the same middle aged Priest that received her and her brother from their parents at the Dominican Republic monastery, over 25 years ago. He revealed himself to be Arch Angel Gabriel and tells her she’s a protector of mankind, blessed by the living God, and she’s to enter a new battle, battling demons that are possessing man and beast, demoralizing mankind and killing them for pleasure.
