## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Spending two years trying to prove he’s more than a cop simulator to the brother of his crush isn’t exactly Ben’s idea of a growth plan. When the ride along designed to break him instead lands him in a warzone, James realizes Ben’s mouth may be the real firearm. A high-body-count comedy where neither badge nor brain survives intact.

**Mood tags**: playful, raw
