Lindy is a woman with a rare neurological disorder that causes her to experience uncontrollable rage when she isn’t electrically jolted. Imagine a life where every minor annoyance, every frustrating delay, every inconsiderate remark threatens to unleash a torrent of violent fury. That’s Lindy’s daily reality. To manage her condition, she wears a special device that delivers a controlled electrical shock to her brain, effectively acting as a mental defibrillator and preventing her from losing control. She relies on this device to function in society, carefully navigating the world and its endless potential triggers for her explosive temper.
Despite the challenges, Lindy yearns for a normal life, for connection and intimacy. Her therapist, Dr. Munchin, encourages her to venture out and explore the possibility of a romantic relationship. Hesitant but hopeful, she agrees to try dating. Through a series of disastrous and often humorous encounters, she finally meets Justin, a kind and understanding accountant who seems genuinely interested in her. He accepts her quirks and challenges without judgment, offering her a glimpse of what a stable and loving relationship could be.
However, Lindy’s newfound happiness is shattered when Justin is murdered. Devastated and consumed by grief and rage, Lindy abandons her carefully constructed life and embarks on a relentless quest for revenge. Driven by her neurological condition and her desire for justice, she transforms into a one-woman wrecking crew, tracking down those responsible for Justin’s death. Her investigation leads her into a dark and dangerous underworld, filled with criminals, conspiracies, and powerful figures who are willing to do anything to protect their secrets.
As Lindy delves deeper into the conspiracy, she discovers that Justin’s murder was not a random act of violence but rather part of a larger, more sinister plot. She uncovers a network of corruption and deceit that reaches far beyond what she initially imagined. Her investigation forces her to confront her own demons and grapple with the ethical implications of her actions. Is she justified in using her unique condition to exact revenge, or is she simply becoming the monster she fears?
Throughout her violent pursuit, Lindy must rely on her wits, her fighting skills, and her trusty electrical device to survive. She forges unexpected alliances and encounters formidable enemies, all while struggling to maintain control of her rage and prevent it from consuming her entirely. The film is a high-octane thriller that blends dark humor, intense action sequences, and a compelling exploration of trauma, mental health, and the search for justice. Ultimately, “Jolt” is a story about a woman who refuses to be defined by her condition and fights for what she believes in, even if it means unleashing her inner fury.
