Nikki Savage

When a former marine kills a crime boss in self-defense, she must fight both the mob and the underlying cause of her drug addiction.

GENRE: Crime. Drama.

Nikki Savage, a wounded marine, is discharged with a morphine addiction. In financial desperation, she turns to prostitution.

But when her very first client becomes violent, Nikki must kill the son of a mafia boss in self-defense. Upon learning his identity, she flees the city.

Hank Pulaski, a mobbed-up, Chicago narc, tracks Nikki to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she finds refuge with her former boyfriend, a martial arts instructor and the father of her son, Tom, whom she has not seen since his birth.

Back in her home town, Nikki journeys into her past, continually refusing help from the most important people in her life. But the mafia, like the military command structure she once confronted after a sexual assault, proves itself a daunting opponent. She cannot fight back alone, and for the first time in her life must rely on others for help.

By accepting love and strategic help from the people closest to her, Nikki not only foils the mobsters trying to kill her, she defeats the underlying cause of her drug addiction and heals both herself and her relationship with the son she abandoned years before.

“Nikki Savage” is the story of an extraordinary women in extraordinary circumstances. Ultimately, it is a tale of forgiveness for another, and of oneself.
