PRICE: $100,000
GENRE: Drama
LOGLINE: In this drama, with his long-term partner behind bars, a playwright must navigate the wreckage of their relationship, finding meaning in his art and the possibility of forgiveness.
SYNOPSIS:
In the heart of a bustling metropolis, Jeff Edwards, a late-thirties freelance writer, is blindsided when his world collapses overnight. What begins as a peaceful afternoon in his community garden turns into a nightmare when federal marshals storm his apartment, linking him to a fraudulent scheme orchestrated by his longtime partner, Keith Stevens. The betrayal cuts deep, thrusting Jeff into a legal and emotional storm that forces him to question everything he thought he knew about love, trust, and survival.
Told through interwoven flashbacks, the narrative peels back the layers of Jeff and Keith’s relationship—the passion, the struggles, and the carefully concealed secrets that led to this devastating moment. Jeff’s personal battle is further compounded by his HIV diagnosis, adding a raw vulnerability to his fight for justice. As he navigates the labyrinth of legal troubles, media scrutiny, and personal demons, Jeff must also confront the harsh reality of his own past, unraveling not just Keith’s deception, but the ways he ignored the warning signs along the way.
With the unwavering support of Hedy, his fiercely loyal friend, and a strained but evolving relationship with his family—especially following the profound loss of his mother—Jeff slowly begins to reclaim his agency. His journey is as much about clearing his name as it is about rediscovering his identity outside of Keith’s shadow.
The tension reaches its breaking point in the courtroom, where Jeff’s innocence is finally proven—but not without irreversible damage. Scarred but not broken, he steps into an uncertain future, contemplating what it means to rebuild. As Keith faces his prison sentence, Jeff wrestles with the possibility of reconnection, torn between lingering love and the need to move forward.
A poignant exploration of love, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit, Life Jolt is a deeply emotional story about the power of self-discovery and the courage it takes to rebuild after betrayal.
