How to Kill a Film Writer Stephen Jager

Roland's routine life is numb and lifeless. What is worse is that he can't stop thinking about his ex-girlfriend, Hope. He blames his own neglect and bitterness on her obsession with film writing. In fact it's eating him up inside. With the help of a homeless man Roland takes in he discovers that the printer he stole from her has a memory with all of her screenplays still stored inside. Roland comes to the realisation that he might be just a character in one of her stories. Determined to save Hope from her obsession Roland embarks on a journey to save Hope from the addictive craft that is screenwriting. His journey however, coincides with Hope getting her first gig to write for a large network. All she has to do is prove she can write a death scene. She picks one of her old unfinished screenplays featuring Roland. But Roland isn't ready to be killed off just yet. What follows is a dual between created and creator while Roland makes his way to Los Angeles. Hope is invited to finish her death scene at the network to demonstrate her skills in action, but things get worse when she writes herself into her own story to appeal to Roland to lay down quietly for the sake of her aspiring career.
