Bangouts

Logline:

In the lawless abyss of Raptor City, Greezy and his ragtag gang, the BANGOUTS, dream of breaking free from their violent world. But when a member’s misstep drags them into a deadly turf war with the psychotic ‘Chop Chop Crew,’ led by the malevolent Soobax, escape becomes an afterthought. Now, survival is their only goal. Forced into a brutal confrontation, the BANGOUTS—an outcast crew known more for individual chaos than teamwork—must unite like never before, battling for freedom and redemption in a city that shows no mercy.

Pitch:

In Raptor City, survival isn’t about skill—it’s about who you trust when death is an everyday reality. The BANGOUTS are a scrappy gang fighting to escape this walled-off dystopia, once the bustling city of Toronto, now a war zone controlled by rival gangs and ruthless overlords. When gang violence spiraled out of control over 20 years ago, the government walled off the city, abandoning those within to fend for themselves. Here, the only law is survival, and the ever-watchful drones that live stream the violence to the outside world mean most gang members wear masks to protect their identities, hoping to one day leave their crimes behind.

Led by Greezy, the BANGOUTS are an unlikely group bound by necessity but divided by their visions of freedom. Murkie, Greezy’s flirtatious right-hand, loves breaking hearts as much as stopping them. Shordy, the carefree young rebel, is more interested in “balling up” and snacking than survival. Cuzzo, Greezy’s cousin, will do whatever it takes to protect the gang—even when it means crossing lines that others wouldn’t. Peng, Greezy’s artistic girlfriend, is nonviolent, with a unique way of seeing the world. And then there’s Duppie… tbh we don’t know much about Duppie, unsure if he’s truly alive or dead. But he’s chill tho, once you get used to his smell that is, he’s the walking epitome of silent, but violent.

Together, these outcasts share one goal: to break free from the confines of the city’s walls and find a semblance of normalcy… despite never having known what normal is or being self-aware enough to know they’re anything but normal. But Raptor City doesn’t let go easily. Every small victory drags them deeper into a relentless cycle of struggle, betrayal, and survival, where loyalty is tested, and escape remains elusive.

The BANGOUTS face constant threats from rival gangs, particularly the sinister Chop Chop Crew led by Soobax, whose resource manipulation keeps them fighting for survival and territory. This war with Soobax isn’t just about fists and guns—it’s a battle of loyalty, unity, and the question of who can hold their ground.

Survival forces the BANGOUTS into fragile alliances, but alliances in Raptor City bring as much betrayal as support. Their real battles, however, are internal. Each member’s conflicting goals threaten their fragile bond: Murkie’s risky romances, Cuzzo’s intense loyalty, and Shordy’s carefree attitude keep tensions high. Meanwhile, Duppie’s mysterious past gradually unfolds, bringing both the potential for growth and the risk of division.

The city’s walls are both a physical and symbolic trap, holding the BANGOUTS in a cycle of violence. Each attempt at escape offers a fleeting taste of normalcy, only to pull them back into Raptor City’s brutal reality. For the BANGOUTS, every episode raises the stakes, testing whether this makeshift family can overcome their differences and survive a world set on tearing them apart.

But hey, that’s just another run-of-the-mill day in this cesspool of a city, ain’t it? When the bullets start flying and the bodies start piling up, you can bet your sweet ass the Bangoutswill be right in the middle of it, laughing their asses off as they bash skulls and spill blood like it’s an art form.

So twist one up and get comfy, ’cause you’re about to witness the most violent and insane showdown this city has ever seen. This is BANGOUTS—where the only thing more fucked up than the city is the bastards trying to run it.

In this walled-off hellscape where survival is the only law and the weak are prey, the BANGOUTS stand as a testament to the indomitable human spirit. Outnumbered, outgunned, but not out-hearted nor out-violenced, they’ll fight tooth and nail to carve out their place in a world set on tearing them apart.
