Project Detail

Weyback

Synopsis

Three years ago, Lawrence Ledbetter, a brilliant, but crooked accountant had a get-rich-quick plan that needed a run-down town and a set of corrupt local businessmen and officials. One day he walked into Weyback.

Every phase of the town's regeneration scheme made The Fellowship, as Lawrence called the Weyback fraudsters, richer and were soon laundering Russian Mafia money, Then, Lawrence left town with half The Fellowship's and all of the Russians money.

Now Lawrence is back in town and with the Fraud Squad circling, the Russians wanting their money and The Fellowship's new leader wishing the obvious imposter dead. He just about manages to keep one step ahead, surviving car-crushing plants, deep river mud, shoot-outs and strangulation. He finds comfort with a night club chanteuse but then finds himself on the wrong end of her gun when the wedding in the bedding goes badly. Led to him by a crazy ex KGB mole and armature ballon strangler, the Russian hit man and his rubber-suited female colleague, Lawrence finally realises what must be done and enlists them in the dead of night under Weyback's new motorway, to serve justice so Lawrence can once again leave Weyback for good.
