Project Synopsis
In a small, tense living room, three people—two dealers and their client—face off in a dramatic confrontation filled with betrayal and ambition. Sam, an angry young man, confronts his partner, Alex, who expresses her desire for a more fulfilling life. Jimmy, caught in the middle, tries to keep the peace while struggling with his own feelings. As accusations fly and secrets come to light, the fragility of their relationships is exposed. The tension rises, culminating in a surprising moment where Jimmy unexpectedly takes charge.
Character 1
ALEX
Age
21-30
Gender
Female
Description
Alex is a woman with a sharp edge, exuding confidence and a desire for independence. Her disinterest in Sam combined with her willingness to explore new avenues makes her both intriguing and unsettling. Though she seems unfazed by the chaos she creates, there is a hint of ambition in her actions as she seeks personal growth and fulfillment outside her previous relationship. She is unafraid to break boundaries, challenging the status quo and demanding more from her life.
Character 2
SAM
Age
21-30
Gender
Male
Description
Sam is a rugged and disheveled individual with a tough exterior that reflects his rough experiences. His aggressive demeanor suggests both passion and vulnerability, particularly when it comes to his relationship with Alex. He is fiercely possessive and struggles with a sense of betrayal, revealing a deeper emotional turmoil beneath his hardened surface. His determination to keep things as they are demonstrates his fear of change and loss.
Character 3
JIMMY
Age
19-28
Gender
Male
Description
Jimmy is a nervous man who embodies a sense of unease and conflict. Caught in the middle of Sam and Alex's heated exchanges, he often attempts to play the peacemaker but is ultimately overshadowed by their strong personalities. His character shows a desire for harmony, but his lack of confidence and assertiveness can lead to feelings of guilt and embarrassment. He is somewhat naive, having become inadvertently entangled in their drama - oh, and one more thing, he's super high.
