Die Hard… In an IKEA!

Logline

An ex black-ops bounty hunter takes one final assignment in exchange for a retirement worthy payout, to capture and return an experimental super-soldier who has holed up and taken hostages inside North America’s Largest IKEA.

Summary

Rhys Harlan, a former black-ops bounty hunter, is stuck in a mundane cycle that takes him back and forth between his contracted civil-service job, and home to his spirited fiancee Nicole and rebellious teenage daughter Jade. As Harlan reaches his breaking point, walking away from his dead-end job, Daniel Blake, an experimental super-soldier worth millions, escapes from a secret underground lab and leads a destructive car chase in Harlan’s direction. The military, lead by the obstinate General Lorn, pursue Blake to a local IKEA, where the situation spins out of control when Blake takes hostages and holes up inside.

General Lorn guarantees Harlan will be set for life if he returns Blake unharmed, so he leaves Jade and Nicole behind to take this one last job. Blake puts Harlan’s abilities to the test as he and his ragtag team of eccentric scientists and military grunts encounters one elaborate trap after another, made out of the iconic items inside the retail mega-store. Blake remains an elusive ghost, always one step ahead of them, and as they near the hostages at the core of the building, Blake and his traps become deadly.
