A GOOD THOUGHT

A GOOD THOUGHT
By Steve Hayes

GENRE: Thriller / Suspense, Drama
LOGLINE:

After secretly stealing a mass of narcotics and cash from a ruthless gangster and outlaw motorcycle club, a desperate man hides in plain sight while his town brutally suffers the consequences.

SYNOPSIS:

Keith Collins is a man separated from his family and nearing rock bottom in life. One evening, after being fired from his job and close to eviction from his home, Keith goes on a drinking bender. At a bar, he meets a young server, Samantha, who kindly encourages him not to lose hope and promises him ‘a good thought’.

That evening, Keith witnesses a single car accident and rushes to offer aid, but instead notices that as the driver passes away, he was carrying a half-million in cash and a fortune in illegal street drugs. Feeling it’s his only option, he swipes the merchandise and flees the scene unnoticed.

Well aware that his new possessions belong to some very dangerous people, Keith keeps a low-profile while quietly working to wrap up his life in an organized way. With the intent of fleeing the city, he hopes that this surplus can be the ticket to re-uniting with his estranged wife, and opening his own business with a fresh start and strong future.

When an outlaw motorcycle club (MC) suddenly appears in the community, Keith understands why they’ve come, and what they’re searching for. He notices as multiple local drug dealers and users become dangerously threatened and murdered. However, when he discovers that the charming bartender Samantha is on the MC’s suspect list, Keith feels compelled that it’s his responsibility to help her.

Samantha informs Keith that it’s not just the club on the hunt, but a psychotic gangster is also in town. This gangster tortured and murdered her boyfriend and now she’s terrified to go home, or even be alone. When the club later beats Samantha for information, she rushes to Keith for comfort and aid.

Keith decides to reach out to the MC’s toughest leader, Romo, about Samantha’s innocence and eventually persuades him to leave the young lady alone. However, Samantha accidentally stumbles on the street drugs in Keith’s home and realizes that it’s actually Keith who possesses what these brutal outlaws have all been looking for.

Keith and Samantha quickly discover that they must now work together to quietly escape the city. They join up with the primary goal of making their futures safe and untraceable to the dangerous forces who will relentlessly hunt what they possess. As trusted partners, they struggle to keep their anonymity, elude the MC, confront this merciless gangster, and flee the town to hopefully build fresh and prosperous lives.
