When a bio-terrorist’s engineered plague infects a superhero, he breaks out of prison to create a cure for the woman he loves.

A New York-based, coke-addicted DJ who is obsessed with 70s disco sees a mob execution so FBI Witness Protection sticks him in a rural Iowa town.
Sort of a male version of "Sister Act" with a "Green Acres" flair - could work nicely
