GODCHILD

Logline:

A child is born into a struggle where he is influenced to choose

between the two sides of his family - major criminal racketeers

or God-fearing, law abiding citizens.

Synopsis:

William Donald Williamson, Jr. is born as a gift to his

parents at sunrise on Christmas day, in gangland Chicago. His

parents - young, wild, bold scenesters at the pinnacle of the

city’s underworld fastlife. From the start, Young William is

both gifted and cursed - blessed, with an abundance of love and

adoration, but influenced by the wicked presence of corruption

and graft. At age 3 William loses both his parents to a tragedy

in the streets. And when he goes to stay with his mother’s

mother, a tug-o-war for the boy’s loyalty develops between the

two sides of his family. His mother’s side - his devoted and

faithful, bible-toting grandmother and his uncle who is a no-nonsense

Chicago Police Officer. His father’s side - leading

members in a notorious criminal organization. They all want the

best for him. But William gets an idea all his own of what he

wants.

At age 7 William begins to show signs of violent aggression.

At 11 he starts to ponder doing something with his life, i.e.,

getting rich like his gangster uncle. By the time William is

13, he is working at one of his uncle’s legitimate fronts, and

soaking up the essence of the gang life, courtesy of his wild

cousin. Throughout his teenage years, Young William goes on to

defy his grandmother’s wishes for him to lead a straight and

narrow life. He forms a fragile bond with a local street gang

from his neighborhood. And he stops at nothing to convince his

uncle that he belongs in the family business. William enters

the ranks of his crime family by demonstrating a ruthless

willingness to carry out any order given him that violates the

RICO Act, even executing someone who would be presumed dear to

him, at the age of 16.

Young William manages to balance his life of intrigue with

his schooling, and graduates high school with plans to study at

a state university. But a New Year’s celebration, and his past

coming back to haunt him, alter the course of William’s life

forever. At age 19 he faces a murder trial. But long money and

an influential network get him the sweetest deal for a hoodlum.

Now, along with all his other ambition, William emanates a

zeal that seems to suggest that one day soon he’ll return from

prison, and someday soon after that - he’ll be the guy of the

town. A special child. A bright student. A well-mannered young

lad. But a gangster.
