    When a Nigerian hooker working in Dubai escapes barely with her life after killing a man in self-defense, she makes a vow to wreak as much havoc as she can against the rich, corrupt and powerful in an all-out battle between the haves and have-nots.

    I miss some flaw of the protagonist. How much havoc can really a Nigerian hooker cause at Dubai, where women are so restricted in all aspects of public life? Perhaps she can be a luxury prostitute and therefore she has few contacts here and there? Making a vow is a good inciting incident, but thereRead more

    I miss some flaw of the protagonist. How much havoc can really a Nigerian hooker cause at Dubai, where women are so restricted in all aspects of public life? Perhaps she can be a luxury prostitute and therefore she has few contacts here and there? Making a vow is a good inciting incident, but there needs to be more, some hook. What are the stakes? Vow doesn’t give us any stakes. But murder of some high-profile man can set her tail on fire and she decides to run or fight back – or she will get killed!

    Hi,

    I like the idea but have a few questions. The first is around the disease. As Huntingtons is a degenerative disease I’m not sure how he could overcome it. Usually it progresses in stages, starting out subtly which wouldn’t prevent your character from helping his friend and then growing in severity to physical and mental impairment, which unfortunately can’t be reversed (i believe). You may know more about the disease/studied it more than me so please ignore me if I’m wrong.

    If he had a psychological impairment however that he had to force himself to overcome that might provide a challenge that your hero has the ability to defeat. Maybe he hasn’t spoken in ten years. Then again, as I write this I realise that would make for a rather boring script because your hero wouldn’t speak until Act 3…but you get the idea.

    Also keen to know if he’s a doctor or in the field of science. Maybe he was once brilliant and has started to lose his esteem. This would make for an interesting character – in a similar fashion to A Beautiful Mind

    Good luck 🙂

    When an ex UN officer turned professional election fixer working to ensure victory for a brutal dictator is scapegoated by his latest client, he uses every dirty trick he knows to try and win power for a little-known rebel group that not only promises freedom for their people – but payback for him.
