After overconfident action hero, Jack Maverick™, is gunned down in front of her -- a whip-smart, unnamed side character must fight her way through predetermined action movie beats in order to regain control of her own narrative.
This is an action-packed script with the outrageous comedic sensibility as well as the self-aware absurdity of films like ZOMBIELAND, that takes the tradition of the over-masculine and egotistical male hero and turns it on its head. If you are not a fan of comedic action or parody films, this may not be for you.
