CYBER OSMOSIS
A High-Tech International Thriller

LOGLINE:

       A cyber-cop races to stop a corporation from unleashing a computer virus that can control the minds of people on the Internet.

CONCEPT:
       A smart thriller with an international element, strong female main protagonist, and a deep love story.

SYNOPSIS:
       Beautiful cyber-cop COLLEEN “CUCHU” LAIN is brought in to investigate TainBo, an Ireland-based tech corporation behind an attack on two of her fellow agents.
       Cuchu and her team quickly learn of the existence of OSMOSIS, a self-replicating software program that can instill a hypnotic state in anyone who is connected with the Internet.
       ERULLA, the shadowy CEO of TainBo, has already tested Osmosis, affecting the outcomes of elections. She’s a global expansion, and to that end has seduced O’TOOLE, the wealthy entrepreneur who controls the program. She has fooled him into thinking that Osmosis is being used for good.
       Cuchu encounters O’Toole at a high society function, and there’s an immediate spark between them. Which makes it doubly surprising when she travels to Ireland to do undercover work on TainBo, only to find that O’Toole has an office in the building.
       Cuchu uses her connection with him to dig up information. But eRrulla isn’t sitting still… She sends hit men after Cuchu, and uses her double agents in the agency to sow confusion and spy on the investigation.
       With the clock ticking, Cuchu talks O’Toole into helping her against TainBo. The best strategy seems to be tracking down the elusive programmer who created Osmosis in the first place, in the hopes of getting him to write a counter-program.
       Now all they have to do is get to him first…

RATING: PG-13

CYBER OSMOSIS

Notes by Larry Myles of Red Inkworks

Nice premise for an action film, a storyline that holds the reader’s interest by increasing the tension level.

The characters are surprisingly well developed for a plot driven story and certainly do their part by involving the reader in an entertaining story. The writer has been able to show us characters with goals that are tangible as well as visible.

The plot works well, starting off as a hard hitting action story and ending the same way, though with interesting diversions re: romance mingled into the intrigue.

Pacing is always an important element, but action stories live (or die) on split second timing and accelerated pacing. The momentum created in CYBER OSMOSIS stems from the writer’s ability to move into the scene late and depart early. Not to mention the attention paid to providing a lean dialogue and scene setups that lightly sketch the ‘where’ so we can dive right back into the action. Good work.

Formatting skills are to be commended, showing both a knowledge and respect for industry standards. Stick to this discipline, as it lets the industry know that they have the work of a professional writer in front of them.

Discussing a writer’s style (voice) is always dicey when the reader only has one script to read. But when there are two by the same writer, the reader can come to a more competent conclusion, re: voice. In your case, the writer’s voice is subtle and never overbearing. Always a bonus.

The promise of the story idea is clear right from the lead-in, and the promise is kept within a structure that delivers the goods.

There are no corrective notes to offer, as this story is tight and (imo) market ready. It was a pleasure to visit the world you have created in CYBER OSMOSIS.
