Pitch
Jake an 18 year young man living in the suburbs of London, is chosen for a sick game of brutal
torture to the body and mind.
(The main character), is a young man with questionable morals in life, he has a tendency to
manipulate and exploit everyone around him for his own amusement. Jake takes to seeing life as
one big game; he decides that his struggles are nothing but a series of challenges. His unusual
outlook on life can explain his manipulative behaviour as hes ego leads him to believe that
others around him are all players of his game.

This backfires hugely on Jake as it means he is selected for a game of karma. The antagonist is
someone who is trying to teach Jake a lesson, and so sets up a series of torturous challenges for
Jake that see him to being the player of his game. Jakes first challenge begins in a forest. Having
gone to sleep in the comfort of his home as he usually would, Jake wakes outdoors in the middle
of a forest. His clothes have been torn, and are filthy. Beside him the following items have been
purposely placed by the antagonist: a chisel, a hammer, an x ray, a phone and a mat that reads
welcome. The phone begins to ring and Jake answers. Youre someone who likes to set
people challenges with vicious consequences. Youve had your chance to change, but you refuse.
In you penis is a capsule, you have 60 seconds to remove it or you will be killed. Your time starts
now. says the antagonist. Jake looks at the x-ray to see that it is an x-ray of his penis that marks
were the capsule is. Realising what he has to do, Jake picks up the chisel and hammer, he
hesitates while building up the courage to do it. This unfolds the start of the number of horrible
challenges that are to follow.
