Acquitted-Outline

Beginning (Plot): In the state of Massachusetts, on a dark and rainy night, Rouge is caught stealing a priceless ring, which belong to Gloria Mentee. She was the wife of Sheriff Jared Mentee. Dying of cancer two years back, the ring was put on display in the middle of the town hall in honour of her name. Rouge seeks refuge in the woods where she has created her home. She’s elusive and knows the area well. And by this, she has been given the name, Hood. For she is only seen when she wants to be, and has a keen soft spot for the children in town. She has taken the ring in the hope of buying back her freedom. She has been running for years, because her Father’s bad name haunts her life as he was a hardened criminal. Now with her family long gone, and because of her stupid petty thefts for the sake of survival, she’s been a relentless target of the town’s. It is during her escape that she runs right into Angel who is passing through on his own run from trouble. He helps her escape from the angry mob and in so doing is badly wounded and is unable to continue on his own way. As he recovers, he is captured by Rouge’s silent inward strength, despite the weariness around her eyes and the grief that hangs there. He is drawn to her. Angel is also on the run from trouble. He has abandoned post in the middle of a raid, and now fights for his life as his relentless father searches for him. He cannot keep leading raids to hurt innocent people. To beat them into submission and selfishly take what they have for their own survival. His eyes are opened to the evil he and his father and the militia have done. Angel knows that his father will never give up, and that there is only one way to stop him…and Angel is unsure if he is able to hunt his father, even though his father hunts for him. Fletcher’s reign as government is crumbling swiftly beneath him. He is losing power and control over the state. His master plan is to overcome the state, one little town at a time. But in trying to accomplish this, an inside source has leaked the plans to all local sheriffs who have now shut down any major operations and communications to the government. In a way, they have shut off all power to the Government. Fletcher has set up a fort where he remains protected. But as he leaves the fort in search of his son, he is no longer safe, and his militia are getting picked off one by one. His son knows everything. If he’s out there, he could destroy his father for good. Fletcher is not willing to take that risk. He must bring back his son and kill him.     

Middle (Conflict/Struggle): As an ever growing relentless Sheriff and an angry mob is on the hunt for Rouge, Fletcher is on the hunt for his son Angel, who has abandoned post on active duty. As the two groups collide…Mercy West and Fletcher with his militia. They battle head to head as they constantly bump into one another’s problems, and trying to kill one another’s leaders. The two leaders are then forced to meet and deliberate a plan as they have run into almost similar issues with two young adults. They agree on a peace treaty to hunt for Rouge and Angel together, and to let one another go, only to battle at a later time.

          Meanwhile, Rouge tries to figure out this secretive Angel. Who is he, and where did he come from? As he in turn tries to figure out this beautiful elusive creature that fate has brought him. Together they confront two armies, as they figure out, who is chasing who? For what reason, what is he/she hiding? 

End (Climax/Resolution): Rouge and Angel are trapped as the face the town ready for combat. But before they head into a battle, Rouge steps forward and sees for the first time, the grief and sorrow in the Sheriff’s eyes. She is familiar with it. Wordlessly she walks up to him as the mob and Angel watch in fear and confusion. Rouge grabs his hard, wrinkly hands, and places the stolen ring in the palm of his hand. Tears run down her face as she closes her eyes, and stretches out her arms. She admits defeat. The Sheriff’s heart is softened as he realizes for the first time that she is tired of running. He no longer looks at her and sees her father, but he looks at her and sees a vulnerable female who has been trying to escape her Father’s haunting reputation. The Sheriff restores honor and peace to her name. He sets her free. Now, the town lives in harmony with Rouge who still remains elusive-only coming out for supplies or to go to church Sunday morning. Angel stays with Rouge and sides with Mercy West. Together they head into battle with Fletcher who gets killed. The militia now lost and free from his control, agree to move on and leaves Angel in peace with the promise that he won’t be bothered again. New government is put in to place and the rest of the surviving militia are thrown into prison with a life sentence for all the charges against them.
