The Female Defender
Synopsis of the Female Defender

The Female Defender is a novel about a law enforcement agent that rescues women and young girls from being victimized by sexually deviant men. The undercover name that she uses is Renee Merlot. Her real name is Margaret Fosters. After Renee trains to be a law enforcement agent, some of the men who have manipulated her in the past come back in her life to scare her and prevent her from living her life peacefully. Her boss Wesley bestows unto Renee some powers of premonition and kinestic powers to determine when and where the next crime will take place and who it is that she must save. Renee’s ancestor Chief Wabasha appears to her in spirit and tells her of a power that he had as Chief of the Wabasha Tribe. Chief Wabasha is related to Wesley, Renee’s boss and both men have ancestors from the Sioux Tribe, which possessed powers of premonition and a ability to foresee an event before it actually occurs.

 Renee reconciles with a guy named Chris, that she knew in high school, and never got to know and whom she develops a romantic relationship with. 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.
