Treatment First Draft: One Hacker to Another

This story is about Marcus using the technology an evil corporation uses agaisnt them to put an end to their abductions, thereby saving the city of San Francisco. Marcus is a 17 year old nerd who is great with hacking into surviellence, among other technological feats. He is brilliant. He has a girlfriend who loves him more than anything, Ange. One day however, a secret force uses surviellence and hacks into Ange's home security cameras to invade her house and capture her. A few days later, Marcus recieves a note saying that Ange was tortured and killed. Many people have had this happen to them throughout SF. Marcus then uses the technology the secret force used to find Ange, to find the whereabouts of this secret force. He sneaks in and makes his way to the room where the leader is, only to find out that the leader is none other than Ange herself. She faked her death so that Marcus would never have to find out that she was the leader behind the evil secret force. Stunned, Marcus has to choose between saving his girlfriend, whom he loves for his own personal gain, or take her down for the benefit of the city.

The audience cares for Marcus because they want him to get revenge agaisnt the secret force, unknowing that Ange is the antogonist. The main interesting obstacle is the choice between taking down the secret force led by Ange, or letting her go free. What's at stake for others is their safety, yet Marcus risks living sadly or living with a girlfriend who is evil. This emotional charge is what makes Marcus complex.
