Thanks for the feedback dpg.

I was thinking of a coming-of-age/ educational plot etc… Dark comedy moving into the more dramatic as things progress… This was why I’ve had him a failed Business Student — at first the inheritance is seen as a windfall, then as a “WTF have I got myself into?” upon the discovery of the prostitutes etc, then he thinks he can succeed as, for want of a better word, Pimp, and then the Chechen’s et’all come knocking (I too foresaw the involvement Russian gov/ Muslim Extremists… but for the sake of simplicity just narrowed it to Chechen Mob — but maybe you’re right that it would give it more sizzle…)… Which would move to him just wanting to save the woman on the farm (maybe if he’s a bit of a womanizer back in Boston..?).

Just fwiw etc… As per usual I threw this up very quickly — straight from a dream I had where I found myself in this scenario, but as a much younger me, and Billy Bob Thornton was my dodgy uncle (?!) on the farm (an idea I have had is that the Uncle is not in fact dead, but plays the part of his assistant upon the protag’s arrival..) this is one reason why I specified the location as being a farm… The remoteness and isolation I thought would add to the protag’s dilemma…

Anyways — much appreciated feedback from you as per usual — hope your own efforts are going well.

Regards.
