I was writing my 1st draft if my script, and I think I may have discovered a plot hole, that I did not spot before while writing the treatment.
In the script, a member of a gang cannot commit crimes with them anymore cause he has a conscience. He wants out. The boss of the gang can sense that he cannot go through with further crimes, after screwing up the last one. The boss treats it like a lot of gangs do an that in order to get out, you have to kill another person, or you are left in.
The boss finds out that someone has evidence on him and the boss wants to go silence the person, before that person can bring the evidence to the police, or do any harm with it.
The boss and his gang only have a short time to move on the evidence man, and knows where he is, temporarily. The boss calls the gang member, who wants out. He tells him the situation and that killing the evidence man will be his chance to get out, and tells him to meet him at the location to do it.
However, I think this might be a plot hole, now that I actually started to write out the dialogue and fleshing out the action scene, after the treatment. Why would the gang boss get this guy to commit the murder? If the guy wants out of the gang, wouldn't it occur to the boss, that he may use the opportunity to ambush the gang and try to take the evidence for himself, so you can use it for his own collateral? Does the scenario make sense, or would the boss not naturally do that, if he was logical and smart?
