CLEARCUT
By Ken White

GENRE: Action
LOGLINE:

A rogue environmentalist takes things into his own hands by taking on a South Korean multinational and their point man, who happens to be his oldest friend.

SYNOPSIS:

Kicked out of Greenpeace for hitting back, Hunter Reed decides to do it his own way. He enlists good buddy Wyatt O'Leary and a handful of true believers. Among the members of Hunter's team is his surfer son, Goofy Foot, and the object of Goofy Foot's (and Hunter's) romantic attention, a young woman named Aquagirl. It's a ship of fools led by a lunatic.

Reed, O'Leary, and their band of environmental misfits soon find themselves locked in mortal combat with Koryo Corporation, a South Korean cartel with little regard for the health and welfare of Mother Earth, or its defenseless inhabitants. Riding point for Koryo is mercenary Caleb Marlowe – Hunter's oldest friend and his former partner in the U.S. Forest Service.

As Hunter and his eco-terrorists escalate their war against Koryo, they get careless and some members of the posse have brushes with death, including Aquagirl. Frustrated and angry, Goofy Foot – with a thinly veiled reference to the death of his mother, reckless people, and the fate of innocents – abandons the operation.

Despite his son's defection, Hunter decides it's time to step up the cut. And he does.

Tired of these nettlesome attacks, Koryo, in turn, turns Marlow loose, warning him that if he does not kill Hunter, they will kill him.

With his back against the wall, Marlowe takes the gloves off. A car bomb meant for Hunter sends Aquagirl to the hospital. At her bedside, there's a father and son reunion. But, it doesn't last long.

Soon after, Marlowe lashes out at a stubborn Hunter the best way he knows how. He kidnaps Goofy Foot.

To rescue his son and exact his revenge, Hunter sets a trap that sets up a final showdown with Marlowe on top of the concrete curtain known as Hoover Dam. It's High Noon at Boulder City.

Facing his former partner and only friend, Marlowe loses it. He's got blood stains on his hands and there's not enough water on this planet to wash him clean.

But there is.

Tag Line: Mother Nature bats last.
