Overview
After a celebrity therapist known online as The Happiness Angel is tasered, she develops a lethal compulsion to attack her lovers mid-act.
In this darkly comedic, psycho-sexual thriller set in the UK, a 50,000-volt hit from a police taser damages stress management therapist Candy Towne. It electrifies her sex life and transforms her into a dangerous Jekyll and Hyde-type personality. She experiences the real-life taser-related disorder EXCITED DELIRIUM.
Candy is a 25-year-old high-profile dame with an embarrassing problem, regular clients and a weekly vlog to post. Her performance is sharp and sexy with a temperament and a tongue quicker than her brain.
Inspired by true events, TASERED (along with its alternate title THE HAPPINESS ANGEL) is a multi-award-winning female-led feature screenplay (WorldFest Houston – established 55 years ago) + 22 other film festival outright wins during development in 2022-2023.
The heart of this screenplay lies in the psycho-sexual powerplays between its main cast. In Hollywood speak, Candy is a tough-as-nails Erin Brockovich with Basic Instinct’s Catherine Tramell lurking inside her.
With mental health problems at an all-time high, the unique premise and dynamic characters in this high concept thriller should appeal to both young and older adults in today’s interconnected digital world.
