WHERE THE ... IS MY BROTHER?
By Georges S. Salo

GENRE: Action, Comedy, Crime, Thriller
LOGLINE:

BULLDOZER "aka ANDREAS MORELLI" is a well-known enforcer working for the mob to snuff out their enemies. MATHIEU (Bulldozer's brother) is developmentally challenged. However, Mathieu is a natural locksmith. Bulldozer uses his brother's ability to gain access to places where enemies reside. Mathieu considers his special gift as just another magic act and game.

SYNOPSIS:

Two ITALIAN MEN conjure a plan to dispose of their competition without starting a war. They decide to kidnap Mathieu, making it look like the competition is responsible, in order to force Bulldozer to do the job of cleaning out their competition thereby leaving their hands clean.

The FBI are wire tapping the restaurant where Bulldozer's bosses, FRANCESCA "THE KNIFE" DELACROCE "aka FRANKIE", SAM "SILVER DOLLAR" DELOMBARDO, DOMINICK "THE WHEEL" GAGLIANO and big boss man JOHN D'AMANZA "aka JACKIE KNUCKLES", discuss business. His bosses make plans to talk to their drug suppliers in order to avoid a war by working more closely with them. Jackie

asks Bulldozer to speak to DIEGO ABADIA, head of the Mexican Cartel, on his behalf.

The two Italian Men listen in to the meeting between Bulldozer and Diego. Bulldozer makes the business proposal and Diego is agreeable but only if Bulldozer completes a job for him. The job is to collect a large debt owed to Diego from one of his sellers, MARVELL JEHAN, leader of the Black Disciples in Chicago. Meanwhile Dominick tells Jackie that a rival family is planning something, but he's unsure what. Bulldozer goes to Chicago, leaving his brother with babysitter EVA.

Back in New York, the two Italian Men kidnap Mathieu and are now set to frame their enemies. Bulldozer, upon successfully completing the Marvell task, returns home where he finds an envelope with a spliced edited DVD of his meeting with Diego that shows him double-crossing Jackie. The two Italian Men call him and falsely tell him his brother is in Jackie's hands. Bulldozer vows to go get his brother. But Jackie and his men are also sent the spliced DVD and think that Bulldozer has double-crossed them and is

planning to hit them.

The tables are turned on Bulldozer. He's unaware that he's being used as a pawn in what seems to be, a plan to crumble an opposing syndicate. He goes through anyone and everyone to get his brother back. But in doing so, uncovers an enemy he never anticipated.

We are left pondering the fact that although Mathieu is the developmentally challenged of the two brothers, he exhibits more intelligence in his simplistic demeanour than Bulldozer.

Tagline: Family...loyalty...vengeance.
