Brief Synopsis of Our Thriller: MARKED

Our thriller is going to start off with a boy asleep in bed. He is going to wake up due to the loud "bang" of a gunshot. Hearing this noise the boy gets out of bed to investigate. Checking a few of the rooms upstairs he finds nothing out of place: although he notices that in his parents’ bedroom the bed covers are ruffled as if they had got up in a rush. Establishing with himself that there is nothing wrong upstairs he heads downstairs and starts to walk carefully down the hall. He stops for a second to hear the television buzzing in the front room. He creaks open the door to find his father 'asleep' on the sofa with his head facing away from the boy. The boy goes to shake him to wake him up only to find that as the fathers arm (which was resting over his chest) slips down that there is a bullet wound through his chest and blood down the front of his shirt. The fathers head rolls towards the boy to reveal a scarred crest on the father’s neck. It looks like it had been burnt into his neck although not freshly. It had the look that it had been faded with time although still prominent on the pale white skin. Panicking the boy reels back in shock and horror. He then runs towards the door, flings it open and runs down the street and around the corner. Little does he know that he is being watched by a man with a gun from his own bedroom window? The boy runs around the corner to find himself caught in the headlights of a car. The car seems to be almost waiting for him. There is a close up of the drivers hand to reveal the same mark as on the father’s neck. From here it will fade to black and then on the black background the words "MARKED" appear; the reason for this being that it is the title. We thought it would be good to end like this because it ends on a cliff-hanger and there is also the enigma of who is the person watching him from his bedroom window, who is the driver, who has shot the boys’ father down in cold blood but furthermore who is this infamous gang?
