PROCEDURE WELL TOLERATED
By Teresa Valiquette

GENRE: Thriller / Suspense
LOGLINE:

Years after a hospital stay left her on the brink of a psychotic breakdown, former black-ops Roots Brennan seeks revenge on the doctors that ruined her life - and she’s not alone.

SYNOPSIS:

Three steps from insane, Roots Brennan is stuck working in the basement of a hospital unsuccessfully managing her PTSD. That is, until she meets a vengeful group of women on Facebook, all with similar stories who have a bone to pick with maternity medicine. Next to these women, Roots feels alive for the first time in forever. Not only do they plan on being Dublin’s first vigilantes, but they plan on making it a spectacle. Interpol agent Rory Williams is hanging by a thread at the bureau. So when the chance arises to investigate a missing person’s case in his hometown, he jumps. While he returns to his childhood home and reckons with his past, the town is hit with seven murders. All paths point toward a female serial killer, causing him to question the one oath he promised to uphold. Can he turn back time and finally protect the person he once abandoned? And is she finished her killing spree? With Robyn, Osiris, Orillia and Tess by her side and seven hospital staff neutralized, Roots has only one more doctor to address - anesthetist, Dr. Tarek. A chummy doctor who, years ago, watched as surgeons cut her abdomen in half, pulled apart her flesh, yanked out her baby and twisted her uterus back into place. All while she screamed in horror. Not once did he ever do his job to ease her suffering. Instead, he used his position to silence her. So, in return, Roots locked him in the basement of his own house and tortured him. She’s been squatting there ever since, looking for the equipment she needs to exact the perfect revenge. And just like him, she plans to get away with it.
