SHORT STORY SYNOPSIS/LOGLINE THAT INCLUDES A CLEAR BEGINNING, MIDDLE AND END:

This led him to assemble with Oz and Riccardo to establish a resistance. He told them to round up all the men who once believed in Vladimir and he’ll handle the rest.

The inmates were huddled up in a remote cave far enough from Xander’s HQ to not get noticed, looks of despair could be seen on their faces. Greg told them that he knew how to take the fight to Xander, the secret to the island’s control is its secluded female population who lives on the mountains, their leader being Consuela Salvador.

They travel to the mountains, explain their situation and start building war machines, fortresses and expand their hold of the island, Xander learns of this by the time they establish a strong foothold opposing him, so he too has to get prepared because war is coming.
