SWITCH & BAIT

WHEN YOU ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY HAVE TO GET THERE… ALIVE

A seemingly naïve ‘call girl’ escapes the clutches of a notorious gangster with a cell phone containing all his secrets. A hard-ass female cop, who may or may-not be crooked, is given the job to “get the Hooker to Detroit, on time and in one piece” to testify. In a fast paced, action-packed chase, we discover not everyone is who they pretend to be. The story starts in the investigation room with Leah Bender retelling the story of her latest case to a pair of skeptical guys from Internal Affairs – Ruiz and Boyle. A week earlier – they were the agents that roped Bender into the task of getting a ‘Call Girl’ and the secrets in her possession back to them. Bender is tough, experienced and not afraid to ‘break a few eggs to make her omelet’. She keeps the ‘Call Girl’ – Gloria, handcuffed and on a tight leash. She can open a beer can with her forearm and tackle 2 truck drivers all by herself in a diner. Bender takes it upon herself to use her other contacts to figure out why this case is so important and what it is Gloria has that everyone wants. As they travel across country together dogging gangsters and crooked cops on their tale, they form a bond and a trust that no one expects. Gloria begins to trust Bender and tells her of about the secrets she keeps and the dangers they face. As Bender and Gloria move across country, they put the pieces together and we find who is the rat in this operation – Senior FBI Agent Kathryn Archibald. In a mad dash to the end involving tracked cellphones, stolen cars and shoot outs, we discover that Ruiz, and Boyle are actually FBI agents not Internal Affairs. Bender gets her revenge on the bad guy thanks to his Detroit cop crew, and we discover that Gloria is actually an undercover Federal Agent named Stephanie Unger.
