Draft 1
Partially based on a true story.
Chris is in an abusive relationship with his girlfriend, Allison. After realizing how much trouble he's gonna be in if they get married, he ends it right then and there. But when he discovers the truth about Allison's double life, he takes justice into his own hands.

pieces of trash littered as a horror movie plays on the TV.
CHRIS BARNS (19), slender, long dark brown hair, and black
