The climax occurs when Chris is taken prisoner by Renee’s enemies and placed in a warehouse where he is beaten. The resolution occurs when Renee and Chris walk together lovingly outside the hospital and into the SUV, after Chris is looked at by a doctor.

The setting for my screenplay of the Female Defender is Syracuse, New York, where Renee travels to her new job after graduation from UCLA. Ordinary world also involves her past and her post-traumatic stress that she suffers and has nightmares as well her inability to trust men. The Call to adventure is her wanting to become a law enforcement agent and forget the past with the men who manipulated her. Refusal of the Call is when Renee confronts Chris and doesn’t want to open up in a serious relationship. Renee would rather be alone than get hurt again. Crossing the Threshold occurs when Renee is training to be a law enforcement agent and must learn self-defense techniques and how to survive saving victims from criminals. Road of Trials are all the battle lines, and obstacles Renee must overcome if she wishes to be successful and happy in her career and romances with men that she can trust.
