Joe "The Head Hunter" Watson, an ex-con in witness protection living quietly with his elderly mother in rural Nebraska, unleashes a brutal path of vengeance after hoodlums murder her for her wedding ring. His bloody trail of severed heads leads back to New York, where he confronts the crime lord who ordered the hit—his former boss.

SYNOPSIS:

Elevator Pitch:

Imagine John Wick meets Wind River in a gritty, R-rated action thriller called FAFO—short for “Fk Around, Find Out.” Joe Watson, a grizzled ex-con once feared as “The Head Hunter” in New York’s mob, hides in witness protection in a sleepy Nebraska town, caring for his elderly mother, Evelyn. When meth-head hoodlums break in, kill her, and cut off her finger for her wedding ring, they awaken a monster. Joe unleashes a brutal, head-severing rampage, carving a bloody trail from Nebraska’s cornfields to New York’s underworld to confront his old boss, Vincent Russo, the kingpin who ordered the hit. With a $40-60M budget, FAFO delivers visceral action—think machete-fueled kills in a rain-soaked warehouse—balanced by raw emotion: Joe’s love for Evelyn fuels every swing. The title’s viral edge, iconic “Head Hunter” mythos, and castable roles (Jon Bernthal as Joe, Vincent D’Onofrio as Russo) make it a box-office slam dunk. It’s a revenge epic with franchise potential, a memeable tagline—“They fked around. He made them find out”—and X-post buzz written all over it. This is the action thriller that’ll have audiences cheering as heads roll. Ready to greenlight the next genre classic?
