Conspiracy Theory

Jerry Fletcher, a peculiar New York City taxi driver, engages in intriguing conversations with Alice Sutton, a focused lawyer at the U.S. Justice Department. His quirky demeanor hides a deep-seated paranoia that drives his obsession with conspiracy theories.

Drawn to Alice's investigation into her father's mysterious murder, Jerry's obsession leads him to secretly track her activities. This adds a layer of tension as Alice remains unaware of his watchful presence.

While surveilling, Jerry identifies a group of men he believes to be CIA agents. He decides to follow them, which results in his capture when they discover his presence, igniting a series of dire consequences.

Captured by the men he followed, Jerry suffers through an intense interrogation characterized by psychological manipulation and drug use. His captors aim to break his spirit, employing a combination of fear and abuse.

Jerry manages to turn the tables on his captors and escapes by inflicting harm on one of them. His experience is a testament to his resilience, showcasing his resourcefulness in dire predicaments.

After his escape, Jerry skillfully convinces Alice to switch his medical chart with that of a dangerous criminal in the adjacent hospital bed. This cunning move buys him time as chaos begins to unfold around him.

The next day, Alice uncovers that the criminal whose chart Jerry manipulated has died under mysterious circumstances. This revelation alerts her to the deeper conspiracies surrounding her life and Jerry's actions.

With various government agencies closing in on Jerry's location, he feigns a heart attack. The ensuing chaos during his escape showcases the level of danger he is under and Alice's unwitting role in his flight from capture.

In a tense moment, Jerry slips away and hides in Alice's car as they drive to his fortified apartment. During the trip, Jerry warns Alice of the potential danger she may be in, revealing his watchful nature.

Upon entering Jerry’s apartment, he discloses his true identity as a conspiracy theorist published through a newsletter. Their partnership deepens, but so does the looming threat posed by external forces seeking to uncover their secrets.

In a sudden turn, a SWAT team breaches Jerry's apartment as he attempts to navigate through the escalating chaos. The timing emphasizes the gravity of their situation and Jerry's desperate measures to escape capture.

In a dramatic bid for freedom, Jerry ignites his apartment before executing a complex escape plan. The explosion serves as both a distraction and a symbol of his transformation from a concealed threat to a proactive participant in his fate.

After returning home, Alice discovers the extent of Jerry's surveillance over her life, leading to a fierce confrontation that strains their relationship. This moment marks a pivotal shift in her understanding of him and his motivations.

Determined to uncover the truth about Jerry’s past, Alice finds connections related to a man named Jonas. The investigation trails back to Jerry's coercion into darker paths and his promise to protect her father.

In a climactic encounter, Alice confronts Lowry, revealing him as a covert operative rather than a true FBI agent. The confrontation escalates into a high-stakes clash at Ravenswood Generating Station, where loyalties and identities are ultimately tested.
