*Character descriptions below*
Strong female-led Dark Comedy/ Thriller.
Logline: A young woman dabbling in sex-work meets up with an unsuspecting client, and events spiral into something she never could’ve expected.
LAYLA: Nervous yet confident, and open to opportunity. She’s in need of some money, and her friend Kelly convinces her to dabble in sex-work. She’s spoken with men online, but never in person. She’s intelligent yet empathetic, and will always do what’s right, even if it may be easier to do what’s wrong.
KELLY: Funny, confident and a little bit ruthless, Kelly is Layla’s best friend and our comedic relief character. Kelly has more experience in sex-work, and she’s not afraid to tell it like it is. She can have her head in the clouds, but she shows her quick-thinking when she helps Layla get out of a situation with ease.
FRED: A sweet yet cheeky senior ready for a good time. Fred is calm, wealthy, and friendly. One thing to note about Fred is that he’s not creepy. Fred, a married man, is seeking some fun. He has some strange interests, and elderly presence is haunting to Layla, but he’s oblivious to it.
FRED’S WIFE: Fred’s wife is a confused, oblivious, and grateful old woman. She doesn’t really know what’s going on, and she blames all Fred’s problems on the fact that he’s old, and forgetful. She minds her own business, and her husband’s whereabouts never faze her.
