A PLOT SYNOPSIS (your storyline – 200-300 words):

The plot follows our main character, Evan Silva, who works a double job as a hit man and a bartender at a club; in both of these jobs he works for an employer (Employer A).

Evan Silva gets a phone call from Employer A, saying that he has a target for him to kill. Evan then kills the target.

He then goes to his job at the club that night; when he arrives he confirms the kill to Employer A before heading back to the bar.

He is then approached by a good friend, Steve, saying that another Employer, Employer B, wants him to assassinate a man, Bob, for a lot of money, because Evan wants the cash, he accepts. He kills Bob and is given the money.

Bob turns out to be important to Employer A, but EA does not know that Evan was the murderer and suspects that EB (whom EA knows personally) was the one behind it and wants Evan to see to it that he gets revenge on both EB and the man who killed Bob.

This leads Evan through a series of events as he tries to find more information about EB whilst snuffing out all evidence that he was the one who killed Bob, to the point where he becomes paranoid and kills Steve in the fear that he was going to rat him out.

In the end Evan kills Employer B and appears to be safe until he goes to the back of the club to find Employer A pointing a gun at Evan. EA then explains that he got some men to raid Evan’s house and they found the money he got from killing Bob. He tries to escape but is shot dead in the process.
