The Plan

So here's the basic plan for my as-of-yet unnamed Action trilogy. The main characters are also unnamed so that shall go by generic names. This will be a trilogy of shorts approximately 10-15 mins each. I will post character profiles either later today or tomorrow.

generic title - abbrev for summary (actor's name)
Good guy - GG (Aaron Martin)
Good guy's brother - Bro (Jason Mueller)
Drug Boss - Boss (Hermes Ovalle)
Drug Enforcer - Enf (Adan Gutierrez)
Shaman -Shm (Richard May)

Part 1

GG returns from Iraq (as a contractor) to an empty house. Bro was left in charge of GG's house while he was gone. GG has lost contact with Bro while in Iraq and hasn't communicated with him in 3 months. The best GG can put together from a series of phone calls is that Bro is involved with some dope dealing gang. GG contacts the gang on the false pretenses that he is there to purchase a large amount of dope. GG goes to where he is told he can make such a large transaction with the boss himself. The front is a used-furniture store. Security cameras will play a big role in conveying the story at the store. After a tense period between the Boss and GG about the false deal. Boss rather suspiciously is very helpful once he finds out GG's true motives for contacting him. Once GG leaves with the information on locating his brother. Boss calls in Enf. Boss tell the Enf talk to Shm and put 'el Ojo' on GG. A lot of strange interaction goes on beyond the simple curse. Shm gives enf a medallion of sorts. GG picks up Bro from a party house without incident. GG awakes the next morning to find his lock busted and Bro gone. GG goes to see Boss that night. Asks Boss about Bro. Boss tells him to leave and to forget about bro. GG refuses. Enf comes in a fight ensues that eventually sends Enf over a balcony and crashing through a table. GG much more quickly puts Boss in a compromised position and gets the location of his brother. GG gets Bro groggy, blindfolded and gagged in the closet GG seeing no other choice mortally wounds boss for fear of further retaliation. GG exits the furniture store. The final shot will be enf laying facedown in the ruins of the table his hand clutching the medallion given to him by Shm.

I've run out of time and will have to run through the less develop 2nd and 3rd parts later.
