SYNOPSIS
“BOUNTY HUNTERS” is the explosive story of three young men who lost their families in early childhood, under the most hideous conditions. It is the story of three young men who, while escaping their horrific childhoods, also escaped from themselves. They met in an orphanage as children and became friends for life. With a common pact of hatred directed at all human souls who’ve been tarnished by evil and illegality, they joined as blood brothers, in a mission against crime and criminology, themselves becoming as hard as the perpetrators they seek...themselves becoming merciless, cold-blooded Bounty Hunters.
Morning. Somewhere in LA...
After the special police squad storms an old storehouse and the most wanted drug dealer in the
SouthWest, Joseph Fulder, shoots an innocent man and his wife in front of their four year old daughter, the three young bounty hunters, John
Brennock, Bradley Nedrailou and Randy Caderson, strategically begin the chase after him.
Just after finding another victim brutally murdered in an apartment, they catch a trigger happy suspect who they coerce into talking. He reveals a huge drug handing-over about to take place in San Francisco.
Like magnets for their mission, the Bounty Hunters uncover a brutal burglary and rape scene at a gas station on the way to San Francisco, which allows the real hate to come over themselves. Merciless, burning, hard hate.
The Bounty Hunters burst into the unsuspecting drug dealers at the handing over, missing Fulder by a hair, and angering the Western drug Mafia. Killers are set on the hunters, but this only inflames their anger. They’re able to shift the balance of power in their favor and receive enough information to continue their pursuit of Fulder’s large scale drug operation.
Armed with these new leads they head to the villa of Frank
Stelldon, one of the hugest dealers and fences of the US western drug trade. The Bounty Hunters storm the villa and turn the palace into a war zone, suddenly surprised by the arrival of the FBI. The FBI mission, it so happens, had been planned for months as a decoy to bring Stelldon down and out of operation, but during the gunfight the Bounty Hunters have unknowingly killed the only living evidence who would act as an informant in court. Due to their unprofessional overzealousness and bloodthirsty tactics of fighting crime, the hunters now become the hunted, on two major fronts, the FBI and Western US drug Mafia.
With no one to turn to, with both extreme sides of the law hunting them, the Bounty Hunters must dig deep into their promise to fight to the end for their purpose, and nevertheless, against all odds, to continue the pursuit of their original goal... The chase after Joseph
Fulder...
Los Angeles in the morning...
The ancient ghost of the city knows its children, and hears their silent screams. He breathes into their souls and prepares a path for them...
Dark vibrations keep watch over the ebb and flow of life in the city and keep all this secret suffering and the unfulfilled hopes hidden behind the houses... |
