Hey guys, today I'm going to break down a concept for a screenplay I'm working on at the moment. Brave or stupid maybe because just about anyone will have access to an idea to steal, but to be honest I'd be flattered if someone thought the concept was good enough to steal. Besides, ideas are free and I can always get more.
A petty burglar suffering from narcolepsy gets wrapped up in a domestic murder cover up involving a sociopathic security firm CEO.
Hows that for a log line? Now for a summary.
So the story goes Adam, our protagonist, resorts to petty crime because of his condition and general lack of motivation/self-confidence. During a certain burglary the occupants of the home return arguing, Adam meanwhile hides in a closet. Hearing the fight get more out of hand and violent he falls asleep from stress. Waking up later Adam tries to flee, but stumbles upon the body of a young woman.
Upon escaping he decides to forget about the ordeal and move on, but his conscious weighs heavily as he seems to be the only one who knows what truly happened. The husband of the victim, Malc, is clearly deeply involved with the murder, but the investigation clears him. Adam now has to find away to bring the husband to justice without incriminating himself and staying one step ahead of Malc's personal security company and Malc's sociopathic mind games.
Will Adam be able to overcome the odds of his narcolepsy and bring Malc to justice?
So what you think? I'm about 6 pages in at the moment and I'm toying with the idea of making the film myself. I've included a love interest arc, but it's not relevant to the summary at this point; it will be when I'm done though. What kind of situations would you like to see?
Thanks for reading.
