I like it. I’m confused, as the term “moonlights” generally means “works at night”, and why would one “work” as a homeless person at night? I’m going to assume it is for his ad agency research, and if so, there may be a better way to say it. Reminds me a bit of “Trading Places” which may be well before your time. I’d love to see another “expression” of his conniveness (is that even a word?), Like “loses everything in one of his scams” and is forced…
The title seems to be a play on “Walk a Mile in My Shoes”; soul is to sole. That’s pretty good, too. Good job!
Thank you for your feedback. He does this at night to scam people for money. You can find out more at http://www.amileinhissoul.com And loved the fact that you picked up on the double entendre of the title. I think you’re the first person who’s figured that one out.
Sounds like a good ‘fish out of water’ premise. By his profession I assume he’s wealthy, so it’s a big change to be homeless. And because he’s conniving, I can see he has room for an arc once he can see the other side of the fence. How the others live. And change his ways.
However, it leaves me wondering, how did it happen? Might be too detailed to include in the logline, and maybe by not knowing I become more curious. But it does border on the unbelievable, and I would prefer to have a plausible explanation as to why he has to live on the streets. But maybe that’s just me.
Saw a recent episode of family guy with the same premise..
Include what it is he has to do to return to glory, this gives us a clear goal..
So far, it sounds like a good opening act but doesn’t feel like a whole story just yet..
With a little more individual style and re-writing it could be great..
Happy writing 😀
