GREYSCALE is a Neo-Noir Thriller in the tradition of Brick, Memento, Unknown, Lucky Number Slevin, and the 1950 classic D.O.A. 

SYNOPSIS:

When his wife JULIA is killed in an explosion at a Mob warehouse, the world of artist OLIVER ALLEN literally turns gray. 

Oliver, a painter who had hoped to trade a checkered past for a new life with Julia, suffers grief-induced Achromatopsia – the inability to see any color – a condition that plunges him into a world of black and white and shades of gray. 

It’s the least of his problems. 

The Mob is after him. GAVIN CALHOUN (Tim Russ), is intent on two things: avenging the death of the mobster-boss son, who also died at the warehouse; and finding out what Oliver knows about a dead undercover cop who penetrated the Family – a cop who happened to be Julia’s father (Anthony Tyler Quinn). 

So Oliver abandons his witness-protection safe house in Denver, one step ahead of Calhoun’s murderous lieutenant, JAMISON (Doug Jones), and seeks refuge in the old hometown of his idyllic university days with Julia. Amidst a swirl of flashbacks, he enlists the help of BLAKE, his eccentric college roommate, and WINSTON, a techno-geek with an arsenal of tricked out toys that go bang. Into the mix comes RACHEL SOREN, a stunning and mysterious woman whose request for an art commission in return for answers to his shaded past sends him on a desperate quest to discover the reasons behind the spiral of violence. 

Oliver descends into the netherworld, mining the streets and alleys and last-chance churches for any detail about a mob database and the decryption key that might unlock it. His search brings him face to face with the two DONNELLY BROTHERS, crime-family thugs sent to find him, and a lead pipe. Now Oliver’s world turns black. 

But Oliver wakes up in a speeding car driven by his wife, the very-much ALIVE Julia. 

His tempestuous reunion with Julia catapults Oliver into a web of betrayal – in which no one seems to be who they are, where loyalties are tested, and allegiances broken, giving him a last chance to make peace with the past and a new shot at a future.
