Jack Tranter is pitching an idea for a gangster mystery drama film opening. The opening scene involves a phone call between a mafia boss, Andrei, and Marcus. Andrei has kidnapped Marcus' wife and child to seek revenge on Marcus' father for killing Andrei's father. Andrei gives Marcus 24 hours to save either his wife or child from harm. The scene starts with Marcus waking up disoriented in an office and receiving the call from Andrei. Andrei's face will be hidden from view to create mystery and tension.
