A young intern faces a double dilemma when he discovers medical fraud by a colleague and realises that the victim is his own despised father.

There is potential here but the scenario needs to be more dramatic. For example, that an experimental medical procedure is being trialed and the despised father is slated to be a test subject. For even greater dramatic potential, there could be a second patient – say, some chronically ill kid – who needs this treatment as well and there is not enough of the vital key drug for both of them.

Why would you have a medical setting if the father’s life – or at least quality of life – was not at stake? If the father was simply swindled and left homeless, then the son’s medical profession would be only incidental. While such a set up could still allow a quality drama, the logline would in that case need to be drafted completely differently – along the lines of a father-son tension story.
