Drumm (film)

Unbeknownst to the majority of people, Maddison is a Bizarre (non-human/former human) and became one following a blood transfusion at a young age following a severe accident. Her powers have essentially turned her into a super soldier, granting her peak human levels of strength, speed, stamina, etc. These powers however brought with them problems, not only for her personally but for her parents as well; generally at the hands of their local community. Because of this Maddison eventually ran away, becoming homeless 14 year old. At 16 she was found by May Stoneholm, having been savaged by a bear, which she managed to kill. May took in the young lady and nursed her back to health.

May, who was a Bizarreologist, used her knowledge of non-humans to assist Maddison in learning to control her powers.

## **BEFORE DRUMM CITY**

Maddison/Maddy is running an underground fight club/casino/bar. The club is very successful, bringing Maddy millions of dollars in wealth.

After dealing with a problematic customer (who threatens to run his mouth about the club to the media and public), Maddy gives final instructions to her assistant Allen, before she heads to Hallbrew, Drumm City. That night, at her apartment, she "shuts off" her powers, resulting in her throwing up a considerable amount of blood and becoming rapidly exhausted.

## **DAY 1 IN DRUMM CITY**

Maddison arrives in the Greater Drumm City Area in her Cadillac Escalade EXT. She makes her way through the Glenmoore and Drumm Island districts to the district of Hallbrew, where her deceased aunt May's property lies in the homes-meet-woods area. She unpacks her things and goes around the house, remembering time spent living there with May. She is interrupted by the arrival of a neighbour and former friend, Martin Bortorella. The two have coffee and reminisce. He reveals that he is married with three children. They also talk about May's death, and how the young girl who was driving the car that hit her supposedly tested positive for drugs and alcohol.

She walks into Maria's Diner to see Maria, an old friend of May's. They catch up quickly. Maria reveals that business has been down lately and that her daughter Cassandra even started working at the Tea Rose Tigress strip club owned by Harold Calvin, just to help keep the business afloat. Maddy jokes that she should show up there and surprise Cassie. While in the diner, Maddison draws unwanted attention from three local men, Wyatt, Jerry & Henry. She politely tells them that she isn't interested but they persist. When she warns them not to touch her they ignore her. She retaliates, beating the three men. The cops are nearby and they respond quickly.

Maddy is arrested and taken to the station. There she meets the local Captain, Vincent Cole. As she is a new face he enquires about her identity. Once she reveals who she is he greets her properly, remembering her instantly. He offers her his condolences and they talk. May's death is brought up and it is stated that the young driver who killed her was on substances and will face charges. He let's Maddy go, upon finding out that the men touched her and she defended herself.

Maddison heads back to her aunts house.

Maddy decides to go and see Cassandra at her work. She sees Cassie dancing on stage and latter waits in one of the private rooms for her. Cassie walks in and is stunned, and also slightly embarrassed, to see Maddy. The two sit down and talk, but only for a short time, as Harold's employee Patrick walks in, informing Maddy that Harold would like to speak to her before she leaves. Shortly after Patrick leaves Cassie decides to get back out on the floor, at which point Maddy hands her a thick wad of cash for her time.

Maddy leaves and is escorted to Harold's office upstairs. Inside Harold, accompanied by his two bodyguards Steven and Sully. Patrick stays inside with them. Harold states that he wishes to buy May's property from her after she inherits it and is willing to make a generous offer. She agrees to look at his offer after the funeral. He begrudgingly agrees to talk latter. She leaves.

She gets home and relaxes.

## **DAY 2 IN DRUMM CITY**

The funeral takes place the next day and very few people are present; only Maddy, Maria, Cassandra, Martin, Martin's wife Angela and their three kids. The young driver who killed May, Catherine, along with her parents, arrives at the funeral. Maddy meets them. Catherine is emotionally all over the place and worried of what Maddy might do. She, along with everyone else, is surprised when Maddy hugs her, telling her that what she did was not intentional and that she bares no ill-will to her. They sit down together and the funeral begins.

Back at the house the attendees eat and drink. The will reading takes place. The house, along with it's contents, are left to Maddy. This includes the land as well. A video left by May tells Maddy that she can do whatever she wants with the house and property, but she must maintain possession of the contents within, even if she sells.

Harold arrives shortly after. Sully, Patrick and Steven are close by. Maddison looks over the offer. It is indeed generous, like Harold said earlier. Catherine says her goodbye's to Maddy. As she does, Harold realizes who she is and calls her out on what she did. Her curses and belittles her, and does the same to her parents when they come to her defence. With Catherine emotional and Harold feeling pleased with himself, Maddison calmly states that she cannot sell the property to him after he was unnecessarily rude to the young girl. Harold is baffled by this and despite his objections she refuses to sell. She states that although Catherine did something terrible she did not intend to kill May, not to mention that she will soon have to face a judge in court. He then threatens her, saying that he always gets what he wants, one way or another. She simply tells him that threatening her would be bad for his health, before telling him to leave. He does so, cursing her as he does.

Maddy has a phone call with Allen, who is overseeing her operation in New York City. Everything thing is going well on his end. She reveals that she will be staying in Hallbrew for longer than expected and tells him that he will be running things in NYC for a while. She admits to him that she may have stirred up a hornet's nest, but she is confidant that she will remain standing.

Maddy has coffee at Maria's diner. While there, Maria tells her that Harold is dangerous and that she shouldn't underestimate him. She goes on to list several instances in which Harold used force and threats to get what he wanted. He is also involved in local crime but the cases and investigations are always tossed away. It is believed that he is payed up with the right people (cops, politicians, etc). When she asks if that includes captain Cole, Maria nods her head. Maria believes that Harold is crazy and ruthless enough to come after

Maddison is confronted in her house by seven men, Wyatt, Henry, Jerry, Steven, Patrick, Sully & Harold. She knows what they intend to do. She is in her kitchen when they begin to surround her. Her back is to the sink and the only weapon on her is her belt buckle blade. She notices that Wyatt enters through the kitchen door, which leads into the backyard. He does not shut the door. The men are confident and excited. Wyatt moves closer, gun in hand. Maddison allows him to feel her up as it allows her to get into a better position. As the man is distracted she draws her buckle blade and stabs him in the stomach. As everyone is shocked she seizes his gun, shoots him in the abdomen, shoots Jerry in the leg and runs out the back door. She is fired at by Henry and returns two shots, fleeing into the trees behind her house. Henry follows her.

As the gunman moves around looking for her he tries to coax her out verbally. This stupid decision allows her to sneak up behind him and she stabs him in the spine with her blade, rendering his legs useless. She muffles his voice and calmly explains that going after an armed person is dangerous and that making lots of noise while hunting/tracking is dumb. She them stabs him in the back of the neck, killing him.

The four able men and one wounded man debate what to do. They believe Wyatt is fucked but they believe they can get Jerry to a hospital and tell a convincing lie. As for Henry in the woods, half of them don't want to leave him. They decide to take Jerry to a hospital.

As the men move out the front door, Maddison takes aim and shoots Jerry in the stomach. They return fire, not knowing Maddison's location. As they race towards their cars Jerry is shot in the head and killed. They get into their cars and hall ass away from the property. Maddison sits on her porch for a moment, gathering herself.

Inside the kitchen Wyatt is still alive. Maddison confronts him, scarring him with the details of his friends deaths. She mockingly tells him that he and his friends didn't count on their night and plans working out as they have. Wyatt emotionally states that he wants to see his parents, to which Maddison replies "Well, that's not going to happen." She then kills him.

Harold, Patrick, Sully & Steven arrive back at his home. He instructs the men to say nothing to anyone. No one knows the three dead men accompanied them, so there shouldn't be anyone to say otherwise.

Maddy gets onto the phone to Allen and tasks him with gathering all available information on Harold. She then moves the three corpses into the basement, where she butchers and incinerates them, all the while listening to some tunes.

Maddy closes all her blinds and cleans up the blood on her kitchen floor.

## **DAY 3 IN DRUMM CITY**

Maddison breaks into Patrick's house and confronts him during the early hours, before he starts work. They sit down and she notes that he has an attractive wife and two young children, all three of whom are at his wife's parents house for a few days. She states that she isn't going to hurt his children or wife and knows that they depend on him. She also believes that he is forced to turn a blind eye to Harold's actions for the benefit of his loved one's. He admits that this is true. She asks what Harold is doing and if he's planning anything.

Patrick states that Harold is concerned but hasn't figured out what to do about Maddy and the three corpses. Maddy reveals that the bodies are no more. He says that Harold is taking precautions and tells her his driving schedule for today.

Maddy drives her Escalade to meet Harold, as he tells Captain Cole to quash any word or rumors regarding Jerry, Wyatt and Henry, if they surface. In doing so he admits to what he tried to do to Maddy and how things worked out.

Harold, Sully & Steven are shocked to see Maddy when they exit the station. Cole exits the building. She brings up the rumors she heard about Cole being corrupt and although he doesn't directly admit to it, his words and actions confirm it. When he suggests her property be searched she blatantly states that if he or any officer steps onto her property she will send them away with force. She then makes a suggestion: As the four men didn't assault her and are only really guilty of trespassing, she will forgive them and leave them alone if they leave the city and never return. She also demands that Harold sign over ownership of his belongings
