Audience: 15 to 25, both genders.

Story Outline: Nigel West, the husband of the multi-millionaire heiress, Mairead O'Shea, stages a kidnapping of his wife to get ransom money from her rich father, Patrick O'Shea, but the kidnapping goes wrong. Mairead is killed. She's kidnapped by two notorious criminals, Slink and OJ, they accidentally kill her by gagging her too tight, and dies from lack of oxygen.
Patrick deems the circumstances suspicious, so he hires some unorthodox private investigators to discover the true roots behind his daughters death.
Slink and OJ become paranoid about their involvements in the kidnapping so they attempt an escape through the Channel Tunnel, but the investigators soon catch up to them and intervene, leading to a Full-Speed car chase and shoot out in the Channel Tunnel.


Suggested Elements:
Guy Ritchie Style story - fast multi-story film where all ends meet.
action thriller genre for example, The Transporter Series.
Quentin Tarantino inspired scenes - the car scene in our film is inspired by the car scene in Pulp Fiction.
