MAGGIE THE CAT
By Mike Grell

GENRE: Action, Thriller
LOGLINE: The widow of a philandering British nobleman turns cat burglar to steal back the family jewels and becomes a pawn in an international terror plot.

SYNOPSIS:

Based on the Graphic Novel MAGGIE THE CAT When American MARGARET LYONS married British Lord Geoffrey Greymalkin, she thought she would be living a fairy tale. Instead, she became tabloid fodder after her husband, having squandered the family fortune on lavish gifts for his many girlfriends, had the bad manners to kill himself and his latest mistress in a car wreck. The paparazzi hounded her; the press dubbed her MAGGIE THE CAT. But this Cat is determined to land on her feet. All that remains of the once vast estate is a ramshackle Scottish castle where MAGGIE lives alone, attended by ANGUS MACALLAN, an old reprobate with a shady past who plays butler, trainer and Higgins to her Eliza Doolittle, polishing her rough edges while honing her into a master thief bent on stealing back the expensive jewels her husband gave his mistresses But the British government soon gains evidence of MAGGIE’S illegal activities and blackmails her into working with the SAS (Special Air Service). Teamed with deadly undercover asset RYAN JAMESON, whose public profession as a stage actor allows him to be in “interesting” parts of the world without raising suspicion, MAGGIE must ferret out a terror mastermind before he can accomplish his final masterpiece of murder. Now an agent for a foreign power, MAGGIE is the perfect tool, an American, an outsider… and expendable.
