The Treatment

Ordinary world: Charlotte Broom lives in London, England with her Boyfriend Collin Pilkington. Charlotte lives in a small apartment where the radiator doesn't work, the toilet keeps clogging, and the washer is broken. Charlotte is striving to become a writer and Collin is a police officer.

Call to Adventure: The serial Killer has killed again. She has decided to write a mystery involving the killer and a detective name Jon shepherd. Her publisher has called and told her she has a deadline of 3 months. The pressure is on.

Refusal of the call: Collin fears for Charlottes life and asks her not to write about it. Charlotte when she writes has to investigate things and Collin worries that, that could bring unwanted attention of the killer. Charlotte refuses to listen to him and states that she only has 3 months to write her book.

Meeting with the Mentor: Charlotte meets up with an old friend on the force. Harry clark is a PI called into for advice on the killer. He talks to Charlotte about the killer who they are calling The Guy Fawkes.

Crossing the Threshold: Charlotte gets her first one on one time with The Guy Fawkes. He had snuck into her house and trashed it. This time she is ticked off. She makes her way down to the police station where she is placed under protective care.

Test,allies,Enemies: Charlotte meets up with Harry Clark, the PI, She goes through the process of catching the killer. She pairs up with Collin to catch him.

Approach: The killer has killed again and again and the police are doubting they can ever catch him. Charlotte writes all of them into the book. That brings some moral back up but they still doubt themselves.

Ordeal: The Guy Fawkes kidnaps Charlotte and holds her hostage while ordering the police to let him leave. Guy promises to return Charlotte relatively unharmed if they agree to his terms.

Reward: Charlotte escapes through skill and luck and ends up helping to catch the killer.

The Road Back: When Charlotte helped the Police catch the Killer she got pretty banged up and she was placed into the hospital. Where she only has a couple more weeks to finish her book.

Resurrection: When she is released from the hospital and goes back to her crappy apartment she has only a few more weeks till her book has to be done. She puts in her book all the experiences and trials she had faced in the last couple months.

Return with Elixir: Charlotte finishes her book and gives it to the publisher. she then has all the time in the world to relax and heal up. The experiences though will never be forgotten.
