THE COLLEGE KID

THE COLLEGE KID
By Emily Guglielmo

GENRE: Comedy, Adventure
LOGLINE:

David, a UCLA senior, has to drive a rare dog from Los Angeles to Las Vegas to receive a $60,000 reward. 
“The dog is big and ferocious, but has been tranquilized and is asleep on his back seat. It’s a five-hour trip and the dog should remain for six hours. All goes well until his car breaks down, and the dog wakes up.

SYNOPSIS:

David is a Senior Honors Student at UCLA. He is destined for grad school and a great career in journalism

until he takes a chemistry course. He is getting a "C" in chemistry and must get an 'A" on the final to

maintain his Honors status or no grad school.

Professor Karina Kurylenko is the chemistry teacher and the reason David took this unnecessary course.

She is in her late 20s and looks like a Ukrainian supermodel. His lust for her might ruin any chance he had

of getting into grad school.

But all is not lost. Karina fell in love with a wannabe rock star who talked her out of her life savings of

$60,000 to cut a demo CD for record producers. He lied. The money was for a drug deal, gone bad. Now

the wannabe rock star is in jail. In exchange for Karina not testifying, the rock a star has a rare dog that his

uncle in Las Vegas wants to breed. The uncle will pay $60,000 for the dog. The only catch: The dog has to

be delivered within the next 12 hours--the uncle is flying to Europe and must examine the dog before he

leaves.

Karina is under orders by the Ukrainian Consulate to report to them immediately and explain her involvement in this drug mess, so she cannot take the dog to Las Vegas. She asks David to run the errand for her.

In exchange, she guarantees he will get an "A" on his chemistry final, and he will get her for one weekend.

Lust for Karina and the "A", David decides to make the trip in his old beat-up car. The adventure begins

dangerously: He has to pick the dog up in East Los Angeles, the home of the Mexican gangs. Getting in

alive, and getting out alive is a toss of the coin. And the dog: He was expecting a small dog, not a giant 350

lb. ferocious Mastiff! A Mexican gang tranquilizes the dog and places him on David's back seat, and warns

him the dog will wake up in six hours.

David begins the trip and is not more than 3 blocks away when a blue-haired girl with tattoos jumps in his

car. She is being chased by 2 big thugs. She shoves a gun in his ribs and tells him to drive. Her name is

Cherry and she just ripped off two pounds of cocaine from drug dealers.

David hates tattoos, girls with blue hair, and guns in his ribs. But he has no choice; she's going to Las Vegas

with him. Then his fan belt breaks five hours into the trip and his car has to be towed to the nearest town.

Because he's running late, the cocaine dealers are gaining on him. Plus the Mexican gang decides to take

the dog and they send two men to kill David. Four Mexicans leave from Las Vegas to intercept David and

take the dog. Overhead is a helicopter with two snipers wanting to kill David and take the dog.

Could it get any worse for David? Yes. The dog wakes up
