Synopsis: Electric Sunset. 1 part James Bond. 2 parts rock and roll. Shaken not stirred.

Imagine 25 year old Nick Reed lying in the dirt, his face beaten to a bloody mess, staring down the barrel of a gun. This CIA operative looks more like a rockstar than a clean cut secret agent. He cracks a smile. BANG. In the final moments of Nick’s life he narrates the story of how he got into this terrible position.

Worn out by his job Nick takes a break and heads back to his hometown in the hopes of reuniting with the love of his life. While there he discovers his hometown is overrun with human trafficking, prostitution and real life snuff films. Appalled by the current state of his city Nick cleans house while also trying to win the heart of his first love.

This film is a new take on a genre that’s seen quite a lot of success lately with blockbuster franchises such as Bourne and James Bond. This script will take the classic secret agent genre to another level by infusing it with the rock and roll mentality of today’s youth.

Written in the style of films like IN BRUGES and KISS KISS BANG BANG, the script is fast paced and darkly humorous. At least 15 to 20 percent of the dialogue either references the band AC/DC or is taken from their songs.
