Screenplay pitch

John Davidson is an All-American man: he has a house in the suburbs, a family, and a job working for the DHS in their surveillance department. John is the envy of his peers, having been a college football player who married the prom queen and settled down in a nice neighborhood. It begins as just another day at the office for John, scanning the streets virtually for signs of crime or trouble, when suddenly on the TV monitor he sees his wife holding hands with a man John has never met. John calls his wife and he watches as she answers the phone and tells John that she is at work. John could let it go or confront his wife later, but instead he chooses to follow his wife and the stranger as they step into the man’s car and drive off. He watches as the car drives into a driveway John has never seen before, and the man and John’s wife go inside. John leaves the office and runs to his car. He drives to the house he saw on the television screen and after trying to open the door sneaks into the house. Once he makes it into the house, John hears a scream coming from one of the rooms. He opens to door to find his wife, sitting alone on the bed in the room next to a radio, which is playing a recording of a woman screaming. John’s wife reveals to him that she had recently been feeling smothered by John and had grown beyond tired of his jealousy. She was afraid that John was stalking her when he was at work without her permission. She admits that she had tried to set John up so that it would look like she was cheating on him, and that by having fallen for her trap, John had confirmed her fears. John’s wife tells John that she wants a divorce, and then leaves the room. The final scene is John sitting on the bed with a blank expression on his face, getting up, leaving his phone on the bed and walking out of the room.
