daleynixon could change "discovered" w/caught, rearrange the "When ..." this is just what I can glean. I trust the author will take these suggestions and make them their own.

Curfew ankle monitors are a thang here in the states as well. Think about one of the more popular movies that featured ankle monitors e.g., 2018’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp” where Ant-Man is under house arrest via this device. This was one of the reasons that caused my re-read. Thus, I tried to reconstruct to enforce a curfew plot.

Make this your own - keep going, would love to watch!

Your logline is crisp Odie. But now it misses the 'Irony of conflict' element of having to fight on two fronts; fighting (1)the criminals and (2)his curfew.

Thanks for the kind words. Not sure how it works elsewhere but in the UK you can be out on probation and be made to wear an ankle monitor, but you need to keep away from exclusion zones and adhere to curfews. Thanks for your suggestion – i like it.

Dig it!
Maybe I need more coffee but when reading “ankle monitor” I immediately jumped to - house arrest. Which made me do a double-take to read he was on the run in the city.

Leaning towards:
“An ankle monitored nark has three hours make it home before his 10 o’clock curfew when discovered by the inner-city gang he betrayed.”
