Peppermint

Riley North, a doting mother of a young daughter and wife to her loving husband, lived a seemingly picture-perfect life in a quaint suburban neighborhood. However, her tranquility was shattered one fateful evening when her whole world was turned upside down. In a chilling display of violence, her husband and daughter were brutally murdered by a group of thugs, leaving Riley a heartbroken and shell-shocked widow. Traumatized by the loss of her loved ones, Riley's world unravels, and she descends into a state of despair and hopelessness. Her grief-stricken demeanor and emotional pain only seem to exacerbate the situation, leaving her questioning the very fabric of justice in her community. In a desperate bid to cope with her pain, Riley undergoes a transformative metamorphosis, determined to take matters into her own hands and extract her own brand of justice on those responsible for her family's demise. Ditching her tranquil suburban life, Riley trades in her complacent demeanor for a tough-as-nails exterior, determined to exact revenge on those who wronged her. Donning a new persona, Riley assumes the alias "Peppermint," an anagram of her given name. Under this pseudonym, she embarks on a perilous mission to infiltrate the underworld of her city's crime syndicates, driven by a relentless need for vengeance. As Riley/Peppermint, she employs a combination of stealth, intelligence, and cunning to gather intelligence on her targets, meticulously planning and executing her strikes with surgical precision. Her unyielding determination fuels her crusade, as she targets key figures within the crime syndicates who were either directly or indirectly involved in the murder of her family members.

Her actions draw the attention of the authorities, who are both fascinated and baffled by the elusive vigilante wreaking havoc on the city's underworld. Detective Bryce, a tenacious and experienced law enforcement official with a personal vendetta of his own, takes particular interest in the Peppermint case. Despite his initial reluctance to condone vigilantism, he becomes increasingly entrenched in the mystery, driven by a growing fascination with the enigmatic Peppermint. As Riley/Peppermint tightens the noose around her targets, she becomes an urban legend, striking fear into the hearts of those who dare to oppose her. However, the closer she gets to her target, the more she risks losing herself in the process. Throughout her odyssey, Riley/Peppermint grapples with the dual consequences of her actions. On one hand, she brings solace to the family of a young girl who was a victim of the same crime syndicates, finding a fleeting sense of redemption in the process. On the other hand, her relentless pursuit of justice threatens to consume her entire being, forcing her to confront the blurred lines between justice and vengeance.
