Killing Spree
KILLING SPREE is an audacious take and twist on the patron-protégé storyline. Derek Ferguson is a young novelist who writes a play to star his fabled idol of stage and screen, Marguerite Courtney, with a part for Derek's girl friend Ashley to play Marguerite's granddaughter. Derek entreats his mentor Barry Logan, a powerful producer of musicals, to network for him. Barry being jealous of Derek, forms a cabal with Marguerite to enlist a famous playwright, Philip Reynolds, to plagiarize Derek's play. When the ripped-off version appears on Broadway, Derek and Ashley recognize it bears a parallel plot to his lay. A Pandora's box is opened. Derek kicks up a fuss. The trio of powerful parasites to protect themselves, diabolically decide to have the ripped-off Derek bumped off. Derek survives several attempts to kill him. Ashley leaves him, and he is alone, going on the lam, living in Alphabet City. Tired of taking it, he starts dishing it out, emerging from hiding to make retaliatory strikes. He gets hooked up with a Black hooker, Gaby, who is being threatened by a former pimp. Will the powerless lovers survive against insurmountable odds fermented by such powerful and persecuting enemies? How can Derek devise gory and ingeniously devised murders that will stump the NYPD? Besides being a revenge thriller, KILLING SPREE is a savage satire on show business shenanigans.
