UNLESS YOU KILL ME
By Daniel Njuna
When two estranged heirs of rival drug cartels reunite on a secret island to inherit a mysterious fortune, they fall in love—only to discover their parents' empire includes a dark legacy they must either destroy… or use to bring down the corrupt government that murdered their families.
SYNOPSIS:
Unless You Kill Me
Genre: Crime | Drama | Romance | Political Thriller
Format: Feature Film
Written by: Daniel Njuna
Tagline: They killed their parents. Now they run the nation.
Synopsis: Torn apart by a massacre they barely survived, Alejandro Ramírez and Isabella de León are reunited as young adults—on an island they never knew they owned. The invitation comes with a simple purpose: claim their joint inheritance. But the truth is far from simple. What begins as an awkward reunion soon deepens into an unexpected romance. Together, they explore the island’s dual nature—a paradise on one side, a silent power base on the other. Then the will is read, and everything changes. They inherit more than property. They inherit a silent empire. With every institution on the island answering to them—including the police—the young heirs uncover their families’ secret dominion, and the real reason behind their parents’ deaths: betrayal by the very government they now serve. What follows is a descent into secrecy, rebellion, and redemption, as Alejandro and Isabella use their newfound love—and inherited power—to infiltrate the highest offices of a crumbling state. From inside, they wage a silent war no one can trace. Because to stop them… You’d have to know who they are. And by then… You’d have to kill them.*Full pitch deck available on request.
