Characters:
[Watt Watts] Watt is a newly recruited purchasing manager with a hidden gambling problem. He’s been tasked with reeling in company spend (mostly by the former-CEO) but finds himself skimming money from company accounts to fund his habit. Now he must choose between protecting his indiscretions and doing what’s right.
[Bray Cents] Suspended for allegations of misusing company money, Bray constantly appears with wacky new disguises and scams to pilfer more corporate funds.
[Ajita Arden] As the recently appointed interim CEO and long-time friend of Bray, the cut-throat executive Ajita has eyes on becoming the top-dog of the business…at any cost.
[MJ Stone] The purchasing subordinate to Watts, MJ is a devious pro-Cents dunce who pushes his fanboy’s agenda at every opportunity.
[Evie Marble] The other purchasing subordinate to Watts, Evie is a quiet but highly intelligent optimist, although her morals are continually tested by her peers. She has a secret desire to be a senior partner in the company.
I love this story. I hope this get made someday.
If your lead character is one of the people skimming from the company, you should give us a reason why he changes his ways.
What causes this sudden turnaround?
Why does the lead go from stealing from the company to trying to save it?
This is an important part of a logline that seems to be missing.
