THE FRACTURE
By Murat Ersahin

GENRE: Thriller / Suspense, Crime
LOGLINE:

A tormented enforcer suffering from dissociative identity disorder becomes the anonymous informant dismantling his own crime empire—unwittingly pitting his fractured selves against his ruthless boss, a relentless detective, and the woman who loves him.


SYNOPSIS:

Police raids devastate the criminal empire of Daniel Rutzky, triggered by a

series of precise anonymous tips. Lieutenant William McKenny leads the

operation, unaware the informant is Daniel’s own lieutenant, David Moyer.

Plagued by blackouts and violent gaps in memory, David hides his condition

from Daniel and from Trisha Davis, Daniel’s partner who secretly loves him.

When two of Daniel’s captains are executed by an unseen killer, Daniel’s

paranoia erupts. The audience learns that David’s alternate personality

committed the murders to stop more bloodshed. As the empire crumbles,

McKenny’s investigation reveals the same pattern between the anonymous

tips and David’s disappearances. Rather than arrest him, McKenny follows,

hoping the broken man will lead him to Rutzky himself.

Trisha confronts David in her greenhouse, begging him to flee before

Daniel’s suspicion turns fatal. He refuses—still loyal to the only identity

he’s ever known. Desperate, Daniel plants false intelligence about a

shipment to expose his traitor. When the leak appears again, Daniel knows

the impossible truth and sends men to capture David alive.

McKenny arrives at the same trap. In the warehouse confrontation Daniel

and McKenny aim guns across a trembling, bleeding David as his fractured

mind surfaces. Calm and lucid, the “other” David confesses to informing on

the syndicate and murdering Daniel’s captains. Daniel fires; chaos erupts.

The empire ends in gunfire—Daniel killed, McKenny wounded, David shot

through the abdomen.

Trisha reaches the burning warehouse too late. Cradling David as he fades,

she hears his final plea: “End it… end the noise.” She understands—mercy.

When the smoke clears, McKenny’s report simply reads, No informant was

ever identified.

Weeks later, Trisha destroys David’s last confession phone and returns to

her greenhouse, tending her orchids in silence. Among the white blooms,

one flower burns deep red. McKenny visits an unmarked grave in the rain

and whispers the truth only the lost can hear: the fracture never heals,

but sometimes, it stops hurting.
