'Control' Draft Idea

The protagonist is of a local, male who was made an orphan when his parents died of natural causes when he was younger so he tends to put all effort in everything he takes part due to the fact you never know whats going to happen. As a result, the protagonist is naturally talented at athletics, boxing etc and as a whole, he is a good willed person as he often participates in charity events like the cancer research run.

The protagonist tends to hang round with his friends a lot as he takes respect and loyalty very personally as he has no blood rated family so he surrounds himself with his friends 24/7 as they keep him happy. Him and his friend go to a drug deal so his friend can get drugs for a upcoming party. However, at the drug deal the dealer tries to scam the protagonist's friend so as a result, the protagonist defends his friend and his reputation so he beats up the dealers enforcer. This frightens his friend as the dealer is someone you don't want to mess with as he is a big time dealer who has loads of connections. Surprisingly the dealer commends the courage and loyalty shown by the protagonist as it takes a lot to stand up for your friends.

The protagonist and his friends attend a house party in which the protagonist gets intoxicated and his friends get high, which slows down the reaction time of protagonist so it makes him vulnerable and weak. On the way back from the party, the two vulnerable characters are jumped by the dealers as the enforcer he beat up wants revenge. They first knock the protagonist off onto the floor, and as he gains and loses consciousness he witnesses his friend getting brutally murdered as the enforcer kicks his friend's skull in till the screaming stopped.

After gaining consciousness fully, he wakes up tied to a character in a dark room, a large light is pointed at him which causes him to become all delirious and confused. He is then re-woken with a fist to his skull, he is held captive as he is mentally broken and forced against his will to be apart of the dealer's group. He is torture for days until his mind cracks and causes him to follow the obedience and serves as the dealers new enforcer. ( A montage of torture and captivity )

As a sick and twisted 'graduation' test to test his obedience, the protagonist is instructed to murder the previous enforcer who the protagonist beat up at the dealers first encounter with the protagonist. As a result, the protagonist beats the enforcer to death with no remorse (Same way his friend died)#

Then as the months go by he cuts his friends from his life before the drug deal, He continues to commit himself to working for the drug leader who has manipulated him and mentally broke him by the excessive abuse which has led to him feeling no remorse or pity for the victims' families which he has caused so much pain.(His character is the binary opposition of his character at the start of the narrative).

(Towards the end of the montage, the audience see a flicker of doubt as he starts to develop and show remorse)
The protagonist starts to show remorse and the drug leader picks up on this but doesn't address it as he feels that it's not important because he's still in his control.
