ACT 1

After losing a key suspect and botching a long running drug investigation, Detective Maximilian Oswald (Oz) is demoted and sent to the 77th Precinct in South Central to partner with surly veteran, Dewayne Hayes (Hayes). 

Hayes has recently started working security on the biggest global talent competition show, SOUL GOLD; created by failed British music producer turned billionaire media mogul, Randy Greene.

Randy’s notion for the show is to find the artistic and spiritual “gold” of each contestant’s soul by putting their extraordinary gifts & talents to test through intense bouts of competition, endurance, and teamwork.

After a day on set, and a night out partying with the show’s contestants, Oz once again comes face to face with Dragon, the perp who slipped through his fingers in the film’s opening scene.

After another fierce battle on the top floor of LA’s tallest building (and home to one of the hottest clubs in town), Oz seems to earn the respect of the show’s contestants; but he loses his target as Dragon jumps off the roof, revealing his custom wing suit; and flies off in an epic escape.

ACT TWO 

The next morning, Dragon’s getaway is front page news and both Commander Thompson (Oz and Hayes’ commanding officer) and Giang Hung (Dragon’s uncle) are none too pleased. Plans are made for Dragon’s immediate return home and Oz and Hayes are sent to the Soul Gold set in Malibu, one misstep away from unemployment. 

Before going to set, Oz convinces Hayes to go with him while he follows up on a clue discovered the night before at the club, and finds that the ultra-rare, limited edition Nike Skateboarding shoes he spotted Dragon wearing were actually fakes. After following the shoe lead to a high end store in Malibu Village, Oz & Hayes notice Giang’s henchmen trailing Oz’s Ferrari, ending in a high-octane car chase up the PCH, barely escaping with their lives. 

Throughout the rest of act two, Oz and Hayes do their best to stay alive while guarding the set and piecing together clues about Giang’s drug & counterfeiting business. After tangling with gangsters in south central, Oz and Hayes discover one of Giang’s fake storefronts, inadvertently tipping him off and ending the act with a blowout firestorm on the tram in Palm Springs. 

ACT THREE 

Oz and Hayes survive the storm but get immediately fired from their security jobs at Soul Gold. After knocking on heaven’s door twice in one day, Hayes decides it’s time to move on and breaks up his bromance with Oz, who returns home to LA alone and unsure of whom he can trust.

As Oz meets with his boss at West LA, (Captain Sarah Stevenson), to learn of his 4 week mandatory suspension, his girlfriend (Katarina Kayanova), gets kidnapped by Dragon and another one of Giang’s henchmen, (Trong Tri) killing two of Kat’s friends in the process.

After another attempt on Oz’s life, Oz and Hayes come back together in a race against time to outwit a mole in the police department, save Kat, and bring Giang and his crew to justice. Ensuing an epic finale featuring psychic Kung Fu battles, helicopter firefights, 44 floors of free fall, and an adrenaline inducing car chase through the streets of downtown LA, the movie ends at the live taping of the “Soul Gold” finale at LA Live, with Oz & Hayes nabbing their man in front of TV cameras and millions of viewers.

Like any good buddy cop movie, this battle might just be the beginning of a bigger war as they hint of more antics to come.

Maximillian Oswald (OZ)

Oz is a Malibu beach kid and former X Games athlete turned West LA Gangs & Narcotics detective, investigating the drug and counterfeiting businesses of our movie’s villain, Giang Hung. He’s vegan, eco conscious, fashion forward, a bit of a smart ass and still mourning the death of his parents.

Dewayne Hayes

Hayes is a surly, divorced dad and by the book veteran cop at the 77th Precinct in south central, who gets stuck with Oz playing security on set of the new global competition show SOUL GOLD. He’s married to the job, loves working out, prefers working alone, and is in need of serious therapy.

KAT 

Kat is a Russian exotic dancer and Oz’s pansexual firebrand of a girlfriend. Lover of  languages, word games, and vodka, beneath her beautiful veneer lurks the wits, intelligence and soul of a lioness.

RANDY 

Randy is a former has-been British music producer now turned uber rich media mogul, who hires Oz and Hayes to play security on his new show, “Soul Gold”. He does yoga, dates supermodels, studies New Age metaphysics, and hosts ayahuasca retreats in his spare time.

GIANG 

Giang is an international playboy, currency trader, and drug lord whose newest club drug, Crystal Myst, is killing kids all over LA. He’s a master at Tien-Hsueh, a combination of Qwan Ki Do and Psychic Kung Fu, and a student of Sun Tzu and Genghis Khan.  Lover of luxury, money, precision and power.

LY LONG 

Ly is the beautiful, lethal, enterprising partner of Giang Hung. Also a master of Tien-Hsueh, her beauty and sex appeal is only outweighed by her bloodthirst and desire for riches and power.

VASQUEZ 

Vasquez is Oz’s henpecked, veteran partner at West LA whose joint investigation with Oz unravels in the movie’s opening scene, landing Vasquez in the hospital and Oz a demotion. He’s a good cop and loves his family, the Dodgers, WWE, and his wife’s empanadas.

CAPTAIN STEVENSON 

Captain Stevenson is Oz’s  supervising officer at West LA. She’s smart, industrious, a crack shot, and has a soft spot for Oz.

DRAGON 

Dragon is the drug peddling, skate punk who’s Oz’s main nemesis in the movie.

His uncle Giang Hung supports his party boy lifestyle and has successfully indoctrinated Dragon into the ways of the family’s black market businesses. Also a master of psychic Kung Fu, his fight scenes with Oz are some of the most epic in the movie. 

COMMANDER THOMPSON 

Commander Thompson is the gruff, no nonsense commanding officer who demotes and reassigns Oz. He’s irascible, forthright, and his patience is wearing thin with Oz and his partners.

CAPTAIN HARRIS

Captain Harris is the hard ass, Iraq War vet who becomes Oz’s supervising officer after his transfer to the 77th. Married with three kids, he has a dry wit, demanding wife, and a disdain for snowflakes.

 BRAND INTEGRATION

Brand Extension Opportunities

Global Talent Competition Show
The idea would be to create a Soul Gold global talent competition show based on the show in the movie, using some of our actors as well as other guest luminaries as judges. Through a variety of grueling tests and competitions, our contestants would be pushed beyond any previously known limits to mine their “gold”, the purest, most excellent expressions and oeuvres d’art that their individual and collective souls can create.

Nike Shoe 
As previously mentioned, part of the project’s marketing strategy would be to partner with Nike to produce a ​Soul Gold 1 hybrid skateboarding shoe that would be designed and released in concord with the film. Perhaps the first release would be somewhat exclusive (maybe 100 or so for our actors and select others) and then we could follow up with a general release that coincided with the film’s opening weekend. For every Soul Gold movie made thereafter, a new edition of the shoes (the SG 2s, 3s, etc.) would be designed and released.

Soul Gold Music Festival/Tour
Part of the idea of populating the film with musical talent would be to leverage the power of their music & celebrity to not only entertain but also to transform the world. A Soul Gold Music Festival/Tour would be about assembling a group of artists, both from the film and others, to celebrate soulful, artistic excellence in multiple musical forms and bring the messages of beauty, unity in diversity, & love to the world. Part of the proceeds of the festival/tour would go to charities selected by our team of artists and crowd approved.

Golden TICK TOCK’S /IG Videos
As part of the movie’s marketing, we would launch a social media campaign (perhaps in partnership with TICK TOCK / IG) that encouraged people from all over the world to capture and document moments of themselves and/or others engaging in feats of excellence, both artistic and otherwise. As these “golden souls” were identified, some could then go on to be contestants on the Soul Gold shows, either in the movie or on television.
