Section 5: Treatment

Treatment for Your Last Call

Concept
A young man is being chased by an apparent psychopath, but doesn't know why. He is finally caught by the psycho and - upon being kidnapped - learns why the psycho has him in his sights.

Synopsis
Beginning: Trev, a 24-year-old man, is seen running in a panic through the streets of his hometown. Taking a breath in an alley, he hears a nearby payphone start to ring. After some contemplation, he answers it. The voice on the other end threatens him and belongs to the man Trev is revealed to be running from. Suddenly, Trev is knocked out and thrown into a car's boot.

Middle: Trev wakes up tied to a chair in a warehouse. His kidnapper appears and demands to know where Trev has put his money, but Trev says nothing. The kidnapper tortures Trev, then shows him a video of his wife and children begging for their lives with knives held to their throats.

End: Trev escapes from the warehouse, only to discover that his wife and kids are actually being held in the same warehouse. He frees them but they are confronted by the kidnapper before they can escape. Trev attacks the kidnapper with a hammer and smacks him with such impact that he falls through a window to his death. Trev takes his family home and they try to forget about the whole thing.
