Logline:
When a conservative grandmother finds out she is terminally ill, she is recruited into a secret network of assassins and tasked with eliminating the charismatic dictator of a fascist Amerika.
Can this frail grandma harness what’s left of her reserves to become a killer, outwit state security, and pull the trigger before it’s too late?
Exerpt:
EXT. WHITE HOUSE - MORNING
Onscreen: AMERICA 2032
The C in America becomes a K - and turns backwards.
From atop the roof: the Betsy Ross flag (13 stars in a circle, 13 stripes) flies UPSIDE DOWN - dire distress.
The new Amerikan flag.
EXT. LOS ANGELES - MORNING
Sunrise over the skyline - even with smog, beautiful.
INT./EXT. DOCTOR'S OFFICE - INNER OFFICE - MORNING
ANGELA GORDON, 68 - lithe, reserved, an inner strength - the type of older woman you just walk by.
She wears a blouse and skirt; sits upright - the posture of a former dancer.
Near her stands DR. ANDREWS - 40’s, perpetually sleep- deprived. He holds X-rays.
We look in through the glass as NURSES walk to and fro.
Dr. Andrews places a hand on Angela’s shoulder, speaks - Angela’s knees buckle, she collapses into a chair.
